# core auth-settings patch

## qlik core auth-settings patch

Update authentication settings

### Synopsis

Updates one or more authentication settings for the tenant using JSON Patch (RFC 6902). Supports `replace` operations on `/userSessionInactivityTimeoutMinutes`, `/maxUserSessionLifespanMinutes`, and `/dynamicClientRegistrationEnabled`. The value for `maxUserSessionLifespanMinutes` must be a whole number of hours (divisible by 60). The user must be assigned the `TenantAdmin` role.
