Ignore sessions for specific users

planned

Oliver Hill

My engineering team has a list of test accounts. We'd like to ignore everything about sessions for these users (IE: don't record a session, don't alert us in slack, etc)

Just to add onto this request, it would be preferable to ignore by IP address as well

If we use manualStart, it will still record the session before test user logins? I’m working about the quota usage of this.

Hey Oliver,

We'll give some thought into allowing retroatively deleting sessions. For now, there are 2 things you can do:

Call H.init() with manualStart = true and call H.start() after you determine whether recording should being or not.

If these test accounts are only run in specific environments, you can exclude those environments in alerts and in the session feed.
