Logout

The account action that ends the current session and returns you to sign-in.

Logout is the session-ending action. It is simple, but it matters because it protects shared devices and wrong-user access.

Quick summary

  • Use logout instead of just closing the browser when the device is shared or another user needs to sign in.

Put it into practice

  1. Start logout from an authenticated page when you are done with the current workspace session.

    InteractionsWorkspace navigation: click Logout action.
  2. Confirm redirect to sign-in page to ensure the active session ended.

    InteractionsAfter logout action, verify sign-in screen is shown.
  3. If switching users, sign in with the next account only after logout confirmation.

    InteractionsSign-in page: enter credentials for the intended next user.
  4. If the previous session appears to persist, refresh and verify session cookies were cleared.

    InteractionsSign-in or browser session state: refresh and check access is no longer authenticated.

What to review

Logout action

Ends the current session and removes access tied to the current user.

Redirect to sign-in

Confirms you are no longer in an authenticated workspace context.

Guardrails

  • The key expected outcome is that the authenticated session is no longer active.
  • Any signed-in user should be able to end their own session.

If it starts drifting

  • If you still appear logged in, refresh and verify the session was actually cleared rather than cached in the browser view.
