Global Settings
Global Settings allows administrators to configure settings to control a login timeout, to set consent to generative AI capabilities, and to store a key contact email address.
Session inactivity timeout
The default timeout for the Illuminate UI is 15 minutes. A session inactivity timeout configuration allows administrators to extend the session timeout for their instance. The session timeout is applied to the client Illuminate instance whenever a change is made to this value.
Changing this setting may impact compliance with security requirements applicable in your region. Validate any change against institutional security policies.
Generative AI capabilities
Administrators have the option to opt-in or opt-out to generative AI capabilities. This is so institutions can consent according to Anthology’s Trustworthy AI Framework and make informed decisions about using AI features.
Primary institutional email address
The primary institutional email address is used for important communications, such as outages and deprecation notifications. Key client contacts can stay informed about important changes to the Illuminate platform.
The primary institutional email address is stored in accordance with Anthology’s Privacy & Security policy. Only a limited set of employees have access to the email address, which is stored securely.
