Hi ,

We have defined two sign in policies.

  1. Org-Policy :All Cloud Apps(Sign-in Frequency of 2 hours
  2. SpecificAppPolicy:For specific application(Sign-in Frequency of 1 Hour).

I have logged into two applications , one is using the policy applicable to all cloud apps and another application using the 1 hour sign in policy in the same browser(in two tabs).

We would like to know which policy will have the highest priority.

Will I get signed out from both applications after 2 hours or 1 Hours. ?
Whether I get signed out of first application which is using Org-Policy after 2 hours and other application after 1 hour ?

    @Subramanyamk-9132 Thanks for reaching out. If you have configured different Sign-in frequency for different web apps that are running in the same browser session, the strictest policy will be applied to both apps because all apps running in the same browser session share a single session token.

    So in your scenario,

    If you are logged into 2 different applications with 2 different sign in frequencies, the strictest policy will be with 1 hour sign-in.
    So You will be prompted after 1 hour to sign in again.
