UserLoggedOut

UserLoggedOut is a common event or state that signifies a user has successfully ended their active session with a system, application, or website. This event typically occurs after a user explicitly initiates the logout process, often by clicking a "logout" or "sign out" button. In some cases, UserLoggedOut can also occur automatically due to inactivity timeouts, security protocols, or system maintenance.

The primary purpose of logging out is to terminate the user's authenticated session, thereby preventing unauthorized access to their account and associated data. This action invalidates the session tokens or cookies that maintain the user's logged-in status. Upon logging out, the system typically reverts to an unauthenticated state, requiring the user to re-authenticate if they wish to access protected resources again.

The UserLoggedOut event may trigger various follow-up actions within an application. These can include redirecting the user to a login page, displaying a confirmation message, clearing temporary user-specific data, or updating system logs. Proper handling of the UserLoggedOut event is crucial for maintaining security and providing a clear user experience. It ensures that sensitive information remains protected and that users understand when their access to a system has been terminated.
