Hello && Welcome

I do believe so.

That is per- user

But in our environment we have a GPO that will force timeouts.  
Hope that helps

Thanks gsmith.

Could I set the session timeout for Administrator?

I found that I can’t edit the period for Administrator but other user

That is correct. Admin is created when you installed Graylog, its advisable to create another Admin for your server to log in as.
