Hi guys! Is there a way to logoff a user, or expire his login cookie so he needs to type the password again? ...Without having to change it. One of my users seem to have forgotten some device logged in, and it keeps a paused playback of a specific show, always the same, and it keeps connecting again every now and then, only to keep that show paused. Is there a way to just log it off? Thanks!

I don't know that the user can do it, or at least I can't find it. But if you (presumably the admin) goes to the admin dashboard, then devices, and delete the device in question, that should solve your problem. It's only labeled as browser:user though, so if your user has a lot of devices it might be laborious. Just tested on my local instance and it immediately kicked the device.

Thanks a lot! I'll do just that. The documentation isn't all that clear what deleting a device implies. EDIT: Interestingly, shortly after deleting HIS device, my own Jellyfin media player prompted me for a login on my desktop. Hmmm. Curious.
