Notes/Warnings:

Use the Force logoff variable to specify if a user is forced to log off.
Use the variable Message for the users to create a message the users can see before they are logged off.

If you enable Force logoff and specify a Message for the users, make sure to allow the users enough time to react and finish their ongoing projects.
If you select Not specified here, the user will be logged off immediately after the message pops up!
