Logout Entries in the Login Audit Trail
The Logout Entries for the Login Audit Trail feature tracks successful logouts of your users. Every time the users explicitly log out of NetSuite, the Login Audit Trail creates a new entry with one of the following values in the Detail column:
-
ExplicitLogout -A value in the Detail column that indicates the user clicked the Log Out link in the NetSuite UI and the active session was terminated.
-
RoleSwitchLogout -A value in the Detail column that indicates the user switched to a different role in the account, or to a role in a different account. Switching roles terminates the session and is considered a logout.
-
SAMLIdPInitiatedLogout -A value in the Detail column that indicates the SAML Identity Provider initiated a logout and the NetSuite UI active session was terminated.
In some cases, a user's NetSuite session is ended even when the user has not explicitly logged out of NetSuite. For example, this situation occurs when a user's NetSuite session times out. If the logout is not explicit, the system does not create a logout entry in the Login Audit Trail.
If you use the data from the Login Audit Trail to count the number of successful logins, you should not include the successful logout entries. You can do this by filtering out the new values for successful logout occurrencess.
