Browser Sessions

The Browser Sessions page shows all your active and recent login sessions across devices and browsers. Use this page to monitor your account access, detect unauthorized sessions, and manage your security posture.

Viewing Your Sessions

Navigate to Profile > Browser Sessions to view a list of all sessions associated with your account.

Each session entry displays:

ColumnDescription
BrowserBrowser name and version (e.g., Chrome 120, Firefox 121)
Operating SystemDevice OS (e.g., Windows 11, macOS 14, Ubuntu 22.04)
IP AddressThe IP address used for the session
LocationApproximate geographic location based on IP geolocation
Last ActiveWhen the session was last used
StatusCurrent (active now) or the last activity timestamp

Session Details

Click on any session row to view detailed information:

  • Device fingerprint — Unique browser characteristics used for risk assessment
  • Login time — When the session was first established
  • Authentication method — How the user authenticated (e.g., OIDC/PKCE via Entra ID)
  • Session duration — How long the session has been active
  • Activity correlation — Link to related audit events for this session

Filtering Sessions

Use the date range picker to filter sessions by time period:

  • Last 24 hours — See today's login activity
  • Last 7 days — Review the past week
  • Last 30 days — Monthly session overview
  • Custom range — Select specific start and end dates

Cross-Device Monitoring

If you access GrantFlow from multiple devices (e.g., office workstation, laptop, mobile), all sessions appear in a unified list. This helps you:

  • Verify you recognize all active sessions
  • Identify if your account is being used from unexpected locations
  • Detect potential credential compromise early

Security Best Practices

  • Review sessions regularly — Check your session list periodically, especially after traveling or using shared devices.
  • Watch for unfamiliar locations — If you see sessions from locations you don't recognize, change your password and contact your administrator.
  • Monitor concurrent sessions — Multiple simultaneous sessions from different locations may indicate credential sharing or compromise.
  • Check after password changes — After changing your password, verify that old sessions are properly terminated.

Session and Audit Correlation

Each browser session is correlated with audit events. When reviewing the Activity Log, session identifiers link back to the Browser Sessions page, making it easy to trace actions to specific devices and login events.

Troubleshooting

Session shows wrong locationIP geolocation is approximate — VPN usage may show the VPN server location
Old sessions still showingSessions expire based on token lifetime configured in Entra ID
Missing session entriesSessions are recorded on authentication — cached tokens may not create new entries
