# What are the SessionLimit protection states?

**SessionLimit** defines users in 3 states.

1. **Unprotected**, When a user, group or OU is added as unprotected, users are not restricted to any number of sessions. However, all session activities of users are tracked and logged. The user appears as Unprotected on the limitations screen. Since Unprotected does not have a user's policy, it will not appear in any policies under "SessionLimit Protection Policies".
2. **Protected**, In this state, the user begins to be restricted in line with the applied policy. All session activities and anti-policy actions are logged. The user appears as Protected on the limitations screen.
3. **None**, This state is the scenario in which the user is not added as unprotected or protected in any way. No user activity is tracked or logged.
