A feature of Cloud Sign-in licenses is allowing sessions to be remotely terminated using the "Terminate" button at the end of the row. Users can always terminate their own sessions.

This is particularly useful for the scenario when a user has left a CSI application running on a computer that they do not have access to and they need to free up the license to use on another computer.

Users with the Administrator role, or a role that has the Terminate Sessions permission checked, have the ability to terminate the session of other users.

Users who have their sessions terminated will always be prompted to save their work prior to the application closing.
