What Is the Maximum Duration of an Assumable Role Session?

Updated on 08 April, 2026

Learn the session duration limits for assumable roles in Vultr IAM. Sessions range from 15 minutes to 12 hours maximum, with a default duration of 1 hour.


The maximum duration of an assumable role session is 12 hours (43,200 seconds). The minimum is 15 minutes (900 seconds). If no session duration is configured, it defaults to 1 hour (3,600 seconds).

Session duration determines how long an assumed session remains active and can be configured to your requirements upon selecting manual assumption. Once a session expires, it is terminated, the elevated permissions granted by the role are no longer active, and the user must assume the role again to start a new session.
