\* You will only see WAN Insights permissions on the permissions list on the platform if your organization has activated WAN Insights. For more information, see the [WAN Insights documentation](https://docs.thousandeyes.com/product-documentation/wan-insights).

\* The *Keep session alive on auto-update* permission is not enabled on the built-in Organization Admin, Account Admin, or Regular User roles. You can add it to a [custom role](https://docs.thousandeyes.com/product-documentation/getting-started/getting-started-with-account-setup#creating-a-custom-role) (including a role duplicated from a built-in role) for users who need it. For session behavior, see [Session management](https://docs.thousandeyes.com/product-documentation/user-management/user-entity-controls#session-management).
