About Sessions

A session is a secure, shareable connection between a cluster and a workflow or app.

When creating a session, the user chooses a port to expose. That port is made securely available through your ACTIVATE user workspace. The port is forwarded from the cluster back to the user workspace, allowing any user to log in to ACTIVATE and access that session.

Sessions add an authentication layer that only allows access through an SSH connection. Additionally, only users that are selected by the session creator have access.
