# Sessions
|
||||
|
||||
A session is
|
||||
a set of related connections
|
||||
between a [user][] and a [host][].
|
||||
A user initiates a session
|
||||
by requesting access to a [target][].
|
||||
If a user has the proper [permissions][],
|
||||
a session is created
|
||||
and the [expiration time][] and [connection limit][]
|
||||
are set based on the [target's attributes][].
|
||||
A snapshot of the data
|
||||
relevant to authorizing the session
|
||||
is also captured and stored in the Boundary data warehouse
|
||||
when the session is created.
|
||||
|
||||
Sessions are created in the [project][] of the corresponding [target][].
|
||||
Deleting a project will terminate all of the active sessions in the project
|
||||
but will not effect any session data in the data warehouse.
|
||||
Historical data in the data warehouse is never deleted.
|
||||
|
||||
## Termination
|
||||
|
||||
A session is forcefully terminated when one of the following occurs:
|
||||
|
||||
- The session reaches the time limit and expires.
|
||||
|
||||
- An authorized user manually cancels the session.
|
||||
|
||||
- Any resource associated with the session is deleted
|
||||
or removed from the [target][].
|
||||
This includes: the [host][], the [host set][], the [host catalog][],
|
||||
the [target][] itself, the [project][], the [organization][],
|
||||
the [user][], the user's [account][], or the account's [authentication method][].
|
||||
|
||||
In addition to the above,
|
||||
a session terminates non-forcefully
|
||||
when the user closes all connections
|
||||
and no additional connections are allowed
|
||||
because of a connection limit.
|
||||
|
||||
Permissions are only evaluated at session establishment.
|
||||
Changes to a user's permissions do not effect existing sessions.
