Can you try this? I have tested it, and was able to get it to work for

The commands should be entered with root or sudo privileges (shown here
as root). The dashes are just shown to separate the commands from the
text. You shouldn't include the dashes in your file, though.
# vi /etc/dconf/profile/user

I didn't create this file, as it already was installed as part of the
dconf-0.16.0-6.el7.x86_64 package, and contained the following:
user-db:user
system-db:local
system-db:site
system-db:distro
The extra system-db records shouldn't be a problem, since they don't
override the settings we're interested in.
# mkdir -p /etc/dconf/db/local.d/locks
Also existed already, as part of the same dconf package.
# vi /etc/dconf/db/local.d/00-autologout
--------------------------------------------------------------------
[org/gnome/settings-daemon/plugins/power]
# Set the timeout to 900 seconds when on primary power
sleep-inactive-ac-timeout=900
# Set action after timeout to be logout when on primary power
sleep-inactive-ac-type='logout'
--------------------------------------------------------------------
I did this, but using a different (larger) timeout value. I've since
played around with the timeout value, and found that it worked for very
small values (e.g. 300). My current hunch (which I'm still testing) is
that it works as long as the screensaver and/or screen lock hasn't
kicked in yet. (I'm trying to find out which of the two might be the
issue.)
this next step prevents regular users from changing the setting...
# vi /etc/dconf/db/local.d/locks/autologout
--------------------------------------------------------------------
# Lock automatic logout settings
/org/gnome/settings-daemon/plugins/power/sleep-inactive-ac-timeout
/org/gnome/settings-daemon/plugins/power/sleep-inactive-ac-type
--------------------------------------------------------------------
# dconf update
You'll need to log out and log back in for the settings to take effect.
I had initially skipped the step of creating the lock file, since I
didn't think it would affect the testing. When things didn't work
initially, I created the file (exactly as above), and redid these last 2
steps, but it made no difference.
Let us know if it works for you. Thanks,
I'll report back after I've found more about what timeout values work
and which don't, and how that compares to my screensaver/screen-lock
settings.
