# Sessions

## Description

<p class="callout success">The sessions page displays the current open sessions made with the Console, ESSO, WSSO or PAM for which the user is the owner. </p>

<p class="callout warning">This functionality allows the owner users, with appropriate privileges, to open and view online a session opened by another user. It also allows them to interact if necessary.</p>

<p class="callout info">When a session is finished it can be found on the [access logs](https://bookstack.soffid.com/books/soffid-4-reference-guide/page/access-logs "Access logs") page.</p>
