Solution 1

When the specific user logs in, set the Session.Timeout property[^] to whatever you want it to be:

C#

Session.Timeout = 1; // Minutes

Thanks for reply however, I didn't able to find the Session.Timeout property for setting timeout.

It definitely exists - it wouldn't be in the MSDN documentation otherwise!

Try HttpContext.Current.Session.Timeout, in case you've got a naming conflict somewhere.

tried the same but not worked as expected.
