    Inactivity timeout -
    The amount of time , in seconds , that must expire during the user's session during which the user is idle before the user is automatically logged out. A value of zero disables activity time out.

    What is the "maximum value" one can set to avoid inactivity timeout ?

    You would find the above option in

     

     
    After login into the Reporting Server
     
    Go to 
     
    Admin Tab -> Click GUI Configuration -> Password Rules
     
    and you would find this above feature "Inactivity Timeout"

    In the Site Properties dialog box on the General tab, select a value from 5

    minutes to Never from the Console Timeout list.

    The default is one (1) hour. The administrator is automatically logged off the

    console when the Console Timeout period is reached.

     

    So to answer  your  question, you can set it  to anything, there  is no upper  limit

    sorry for the below information, i have not tested though , it says it's in seconds, so set 24 *60*60 ( 1 day) and observe if it logsout after a day.. 

     

    To set password rules for reporting user accounts

    1 Select the reporting server and make sure you are logged in.

    2 On the Admin tab, click GUI Configuration > Password Rules.

    3 In the Rules for role list box, select the role.

    4 Change any of the parameters for the password rules.the parameter here being "Inactivity timeout"

    5 Click Save to save the rules for the selected role.

     

    hope the information helps,
