change the default user connection timeout value

Requesting a GUI way to change the default user connection timeout value.
when a user is connected (to GUI) for a long time (specifics unknown) they must logoff and back on to see all the volumes again.
seems some if not most of the volumes disappear after a long inactive session.
We are aware of the connection cleanup routine that runs when a certain # of connections are in use or have been in use, however, they want something
different.

    Development is considering putting a modifiable field for timeout as suggested. Do not currently have an ETA for this capability.
