Data Protection Advisor (DPA): Error message ‘Error 401: Unauthorized Action’ appears in Gui

User sees an error message on the DPA GUI and has to log back in again:
 Error 401: Unauthorized Action

This error happens when a user is logged into the DPA GUI for hours at a time and the open session is being closed due to inactivity or some other environment factor closes the session.

The error can be ignored as it has no impact on DPA functionality.
User can log in to DPA again and continue as normal.
