How To: Manage and Use the Session History Plugin
=================================================

The Session History plugin allows the Server Administrator to view what changes users have made while 
logged into NodeWorx or SiteWorx. 

Session Histories can be configured to be deleted after a specified number of days.

If the Session History plugin is enabled, a new menu item will appear in NodeWorx, under the **NodeWorx** menu heading
called **Session History**. This menu item does not appear when the plugin is disabled. This menu item is only 
available to the master NodeWorx user/Server Administrator. It will not appear in the menu for secondary NodeWorx users
or Resellers.
