Hey john ,you can set session time out when user authentication process completed and set all the user info in sessionutility class like empid,emproleid etc. Those time you set session time Or try to use following JavaScript code in master page for increase session time according to user role... var logoutUser = false; var timeoutHnd = null; var logouTimeInterval = 15 * 60 * 1000; // 15 mins here u can increase session time function onuser_activite() { if (logoutUser) { ; } else { ResetLogOutTimer(); } } function OnTimeoutReached() { logoutUser = true; alert("You have been automatically Log Off from the system !"); window.location.href = "Logout.aspx"; } function ResetLogOutTimer() { clearTimeout(timeoutHnd); // set new timer timeoutHnd = setTimeout('OnTimeoutReached();', logouTimeInterval); } document.body.onclick = onuser_activite; timeoutHnd = setTimeout('OnTimeoutReached();', logouTimeInterval);

Hello Jithil if you want session timeout for different according to different user type(role wise) then you can set session timeout dynamically according to user type....!!!! if (User.Identity.Name == "lockh") { System.Web.HttpContext.Current.Session.Timeout = 1; Response.Write("Logged on as " + User.Identity.Name + " "); Response.Write("Timeout is now " + HttpContext.Current.Session.Timeout + " "); } //can you follow this link :- http://forums.asp.net/t/1121681.aspx?Timeout+FormsAuthentication
