Sessions - Infisical

Every time someone connects to an account through PAM, a session is created. The Sessions page shows all sessions — active and completed — so you can monitor who's connected and review what happened.

Viewing Sessions

Go to Privileged Access Management → Sessions to see the session list.

Column	What it shows
Account	Which account was accessed
Folder	Which folder it belongs to
User	Who connected
Status	Active, Ended, or Terminated
Started	When the session began
Duration	How long it lasted (or has been active)

Click on any session to see its details and recording.

Filtering

Use the filters to find specific sessions:

Status — Active, Ended
Account or Folder — Narrow to specific resources
User — Sessions by a specific person
Date range — Sessions within a time period

The search bar finds sessions by account name, folder name, or user email.

Active Sessions

Active sessions show a Live indicator. While a session is active:

Logs update in real-time
You can monitor what's happening
You can terminate the session if needed

Session Details

Click on a session to see:

Session info — who, what, when, duration, IP address
Session logs — commands (SSH) or queries (PostgreSQL) executed
Recording playback — review everything that happened

Terminating Sessions

If someone shouldn't be connected — security incident, policy violation, or they're stuck — you can terminate their session.
