Auto User Log Out

I would like to propose that on the Admin page (Users and Groups) we can set a time of day to auto-log out all current users.

If more information is needed, this is to clear out the licensed "seats" that get used up by logged in personal. When they are timed out of the system it does not clear the seats up. We also use Power BI/Rest API to run multiple things for us and can use up to 20 seats on its own, which is done at 3am Central time. To be able to set a time for all active licenses to be cleared would be the idea we are going for!

Please do not. If you do, can you make this optional? I usually just go to the admin page and boot someone out if they are gone and we need their license.

I mean sure, make this optional. But the system admin can set the time, or not at all. What harm would it cause to have the license dropped off the log in background at a specified time? We have gotten better but there was a time that all 25 of my licenses would be used up and our office opens up at least 30 minutes before I (the system admin) would get it. Meaning no one could work in MIP until I get in and cleared the space up
