      23.09.r.20231027.0151
      -- this is new (i've actually never seen this page before)

      I stepped away for a few minutes (under an hour) and came back to this
      (there is no page or even tab on a page that I don't have access to, and I just quickly clicked through each one to verify that.)

      Screen Shot 2023-10-27 at 2.58.16 PM.png

      the system''s screen saver had kicked in. = yes

      I don't see anything strange in the ngnix, looks like all normal pages

      I do see this repeated a total of five times [0]-[4] in system->General Log
      [showing [3][4]

      Screen Shot 2023-10-27 at 3.16.52 PM.png

      I grabbed the screen image - then logged out by clicking on the red screen's "Click here to logout" "feature" and logged back in at 14:58:30
      So those message are right about the time the screen saver would have kick off. Should be unrelated, and it has never happened in any version before.

      Checked session timeout. Think I am still well within my setting of 8 hours, since install.. so doesn't appear to be a session timeout.

      Going to let the screen saver kick in again - and see what happens.

        Not caused by screen saver.

          Is that just a local account? Is it admin?

          I have seen that when logged in as user with inherited permissions. Not in 23.09 specifically though.

            yes local
            it is my account which is in admin group, but not specifically "admin" by login name. these are the only two accounts.

            I've been using the same account setup since 22.x and have access to all pages. so it's effectively admin with a different name. Never seen this in any prior version, haven't been able to specifically recreate it (by accessing any specific page)
            also not specifically clicking anything when the system came out of screen saver, (ie I wasn't trying to navigate to any specific page, the screen just appear to already be there)

            I'll just keep it running and see if the session timeout is/was confused about how long it had been running.

            I'd only be concerned if it starts happening frequently,

              That can happen in some rare cases when access to the page times out (login session expired). I'm not 100% certain on why but in some cases rather than just kick the user back to a login prompt it instead prints that error. I can never seem to reproduce it reliably enough to track it down and fix it, though.

                @jimp said in RC - Page access:

                page times out (login session expired).

                could be, but I was no where near what I normally have the session timeout set for.
                and since then I have hit the "session timeout" many times, by setting an arbitrarily lower value to make it time out sooner. Every time I get a nice little dialog telling me the session has timed out, and clicking on ok /next or whatever the button says, takes me directly to the login page as expected.

                I'm not too worried about it, seems to have been a one off, unexplained event at this point. Not a show stopper.

                Thanks
