is there a way to manage client settings? I looked through the docs and was not able to find things(or missed them) to force settings on users for things like vault timeout and action. is there a way to force a user lock out from the client? use case would be for if an employee left a company that used the clients, i would want a way to make sure they would not have access to the data that was in their vault if they were no longer an employee.

The [vault timeout policy](https://bitwarden.com/help/policies/#vault-timeout) is not fully open source and [has not been implemented in vaultwarden](https://github.com/dani-garcia/vaultwarden/wiki#missing-features).

You can deauthorize a user’s session in vaultwarden’s [admin panel](https://github.com/dani-garcia/vaultwarden/wiki/Enabling-admin-page) (and with the upcoming release, you could also enable the [admin password reset policy](https://bitwarden.com/help/policies/#master-password-reset)) but to really make sure that the users don’t have access to the passwords anymore you should probably change the items in question.
