Hi, I’m trying to reduce id token expiry/life time for our application (Single page application) configuration. Following the documentation links, I changed the values under application’s “settings” tab in the portal to 1800 seconds (30 minutes). ![id_expiration](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/auth0/original/3X/9/2/92c44b93b5b1397c850f8af7539a7849d763b175.png) After allowing few minutes, when I try to run our front end app and observe the token, it shows the expiry life time is 24 hours (and not the 30 minutes I wanted). Below is the token value “iat”: 1681745041, “exp”: 1681831441 (i.e 18 Apr 2023 16:24 GMT) Could you please let me know if I’m missing any setting (or) configuration incorrect? ---

The configuration looks correct (thanks for the screenshot!) - Are you positive you are adjusting the setting for the correct app and looking at the ID token rather than the access token? Keep us posted! ---

Hi tyf, Thank you for the suggestions. You were right, indeed we had two set of configurations one for the SPA (hence Auth0 SPA) and a backend service (Auth0 API configuration) that requires access token for authorisation. I was looking at the access token expiration value which wasn’t matching. May I ask one more question. Our team requires user session/browser timeout to be configured as different values for different types of roles (Admin, Reader etc). May I ask if that is possible to achieve (Set different timeout values based on user roles)? ---
