Account Control, Every Layer: From Your Organization to Every Session

By Martin Nguyen

Updated: October 7, 2026 2 min read

At the Account level: set your own session length

Every DigitalOcean user can now choose how long their session stays signed in, from 1 hour to 30 days, right from their profile, replacing the old fixed session length. Shorter sessions for a shared or high-risk device, longer ones for a machine you trust. It’s enforced server-side, not a browser setting, and every change is logged the same way an org’s resource limits are.

Today this is a per-person setting: each user sets it for their own account, it isn’t currently something an Organization admin can set on behalf of their team.

Both of these features are live. Resource Limits is in Organization settings, for every organization, visible to Owners and Admins. Session duration is in My Account → Profile, for every account, no opt-in needed. Open either setting, pick a value, and save.
