Then why not build a persistent login for the staff people who need to run
the reports. You can use flash to do this among other things. Maybe put it
in a footer and then run it only if the user level is those who need to stay
logged in. It will hit a taf that will keep the user variables alive every
15 minutes and you can put the user variable back to 30.
