How Do I Force Log Out a User in ANVL?

Immediately end active user sessions to troubleshoot "Failed to Load" errors, and to ensure changes to Groups take immediate effect.

Force Logout immediately ends a user’s active sessions across ANVL. It is commonly used to resolve login errors, “Failed to Load” issues, permission inconsistencies, or stale Group context. This action does not remove access or delete the user—it simply requires the user to re-authenticate.

Force logout applies immediately and is required when a user is removed from a Group (Site).


Answer

Business Administrators can force log out a single user or multiple users from Admin Portal → User Management. This clears cached sessions so Group and permission changes apply correctly.


Steps

Force Log Out a Single User

  1. Navigate to User Management (Admin Portal landing page)

  2. Search for and select the user

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

  4. Select the right-facing arrow to Force Logout

Force Log Out Multiple Users (Bulk)

  1. Open the ANVL Admin Portal (Admin Portal landing page)

  2. Navigate to User Management

  3. Use search or filters to locate users

  4. Select multiple users

  5. Choose Bulk User Logout

Bulk User Logout option selected for multiple users in the ANVL Admin Portal.


Mandatory Rule

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

Failure to do so may result in:

  • Invalid or stale Group context

  • Permission errors

  • Mobile app workflow loading issues

The ANVL Mobile App and ANVL Workflows are particularly sensitive to stale sessions.
