Create user groups and set logoff timeouts.

Using the new “P4Admin” tab in your Perforce depot view you can create & manage groups for all users with access to the perforce content, as well as set different logoff timeouts for any of these groups.

Simply navigate to the new “P4Admin” page within your depot view and create a new group, set the timeout and assign users. Created groups may be also used to set access permission for the depot.
