Japanese term or phrase: when logged in
log in は句自動詞なので「ログイン中」(今まさにログインが進行中という意味ではなく、あるシステムにログインしている状態にあるという意味)と言いたいとき「while you are logged in」「when logged in」「when you remain logged in」と言うことはできません。基本的には。
しかし、この「ログイン中」を正しい英語で言おうとしても適切な表現が見つかりません。ネットでいろいろ調べてみても句他動詞的に「when you are logged in」や「when logged in」が使われています。意味を正しく反映した正しい英語はありませんでしょうか?

English translation:while logged in
Explanation:
My expectation is that the most natural way to say this in English would be "while logged in"

"When logged in" would be readily understood; it would sound just a little off.

Something like "while log in" either wouldn't be understood or would sound very strange.

Notes to answerer
Asker: So, you think there is no other way to say it even at the expense of violating the grammar (using intransitive phrasal verb "log in" as a transitive phrasal verb). Is that correct?

agree  David Gibney: I kind of disagree since I prefer "when logged in" but it's a coin toss.
