Primary Role: ANVL Business Administrator (BA)

Learning Focus: Apply

Why It Matters

  • Force logout immediately ends a user’s active sessions across the ANVL platform

  • Cached sessions can cause:

    • Access and permission errors

    • Inconsistent Group (Site) context

  • Group and permission changes do not fully apply until the user re-authenticates

  • The Mobile App and ANVL Workflows are especially sensitive to stale sessions

Mandatory Rule

  • If a user is removed from a Group (Site), you must force logout the user

  • Failure to do so will result in errors caused by invalid session context


When to Do This

  • A user reports login, sync, or permission errors

  • A user cannot open workflows or tasks

  • A user’s role, Group, or access level has changed

  • A user is removed from a Group (Site)

  • As a first troubleshooting step before escalation


Steps: Force Logout a Single User

  1. Open the ANVL Admin Panel.

  2. Navigate to User Management.

  3. Search for and select the user.

  4. Hover over the user row until the right-facing arrow appears.

  5. Select the right-facing arrow to Force Logout.


Steps: Force Logout Multiple Users (Bulk)

  1. Open the ANVL Admin Panel.

  2. Navigate to User Management.

  3. Use search or filters to locate users.

  4. Select multiple users.

  5. Choose Bulk User Logout.


What You Should See

  • Confirmation that the logout action completed successfully

  • Users prompted to log back in on next access

  • Error conditions resolved after re-login in most cases


Watch Out For…

  • Force logout does not delete users or remove access

  • Users may need to fully close and reopen the Mobile App

  • If issues persist after logout, verify:

    • Group membership

    • Role and Special Rights assignment

    • Workflow publication status
