// The SecurityDisabler overrides the current security model, allowing you

  // Get the template to base the new item on

<!--
Session expiration for the Sitecore Client.

When managing Client sessions, Sitecore keeps track of every user logged in to the system and assigns a Sitecore user ticket to every user accessing a Sitecore Client application. Sitecore Client user session is not limited in time and is kept alive until the browser is opened.

However, if after 8 hours of the current user inactivity another user logs in and the current Sitecore license used has a concurrent number of users limitation – a newly logged in user may take the currently logged in user’s license slot. Current user will be redirected to the login page when trying to use any Sitecore Client application if there are no more available license slots left for him to automatically re-login to the system.

If  8 hours inactivity period is too long and needs to be changed, the following workaround can be applied:
Copy the Sitecore.Support.323551.dll assembly to the \bin folder.
http://sdn.sitecore.net/upload/faq/session%20expiration/sitecore.support.323551.
