# User logout

## The p4 logout command

The `p4 logout` command logs out the user from the P4 Server and removes the ticket from that workstation.
If that user has valid tickets for the same server on other workstations, the user remains logged in on those other workstations.
To invalidate all your tickets and log out from all workstations, use the `p4 logout -a` command.
To learn more, see p4 logout in the P4 CLI Reference.

## Server can prevent user actions

The P4 Server automatically prevents user actions if:

- The user's ticket becomes invalid due to the `Timeout` value.

- The amount of time since the user last ran a command as specified by `IdleTimeout` has been exceeded.

- The user’s password needs to be changed according to the setting of `PasswordTimeout`.

To learn more, see the p4 group Form fields in P4 CLI Reference.
