Keep me Signed Option

We noticed that the Alteryx sessions are tab oriented and not browser oriented. When opening a new tab the user is compeled to sign in again.
We would like to have an option to make the sessions more browser oriented like a "keep me signed".
Ex:
- Opening a new tab
- Going to the gallery through a published app link

This is a really important feature for a better user experience, the fact that emails sent by the Gallery itself, fail to work is not nice at all, it's in the frontier of idea and bug.

On the Gallery session, it just doesn't make sense to request a relogin after 10 seconds, only because you opened a new tab... agree... you end up getting several tabs for nothing.

This would be great, since currently my users need to copy and paste the link a second time into the browser window to get directed to the specific folder of the analytical apps.

Thank you for your feedback!

 

We appreciate all the insight we get on how we can improve our user experience in the gallery and product as a whole. It looks like you're relatively new to the idea boards (welcome!) so if you haven't yet be sure to check out our Submission Guidelines as it both goes over what we are looking for in an idea as well as next steps after an idea has been posted!

Status changed to: Not Planned

Our product team has reviewed this idea, and can understand the value to our users. At this time we are unable to include this idea in our near future roadmap due to competing priorities and some security concerns; as such we're updating it to Not Planned. However, should this change or we become able to return to this idea in the future we'll be sure to update this status.

This is super annoying when ctrl+clicking to open in a new tab and it logs you out!

It's really frustrating that you can't share direct links to workflows.

@CristonS  per your comments shouldn't it had changed status to "Revisit"?

It feels like the idea was just dropped and we were left to ask for this again in the future.

Also, please explain what are the other "security concerns" it brings @CristonS ?!

SSO is basic functionality on any product these days, at least with a session timer or something.

Hi, we don't publish security issues, as you can imagine. This idea was being evaluated as part of a larger initiative to better manage sessions in general, as Kylie indicated, and was not put on the roadmap. I know you're frustrated, and we thank you for your patience while we figure out the best possible solution for our users.
