How Does the User Expiration Date Field Work?

Modified on Thu, 2 Oct at 5:09 PM

You can control how long a User has access to the portal by setting an expiration date using the User Expiration field in their profile.


Why Set an Expiration Date on a User's Access?


Expiration dates are useful if you want to:

  • Give temporary access to contractors, interns, or trial Partners.

  • Control when access should automatically end without having to disable accounts manually.


How to Set or Update a User's Expiration Date


  • When creating a new User or approving a User Request, enter a date in the Expiration Date field.

  • For existing Users:

    1. Go to Admin > Users.

    2. Click on the User’s name to open their profile.

    3. Click Edit.

    4. Scroll down to the bottom of the page to update the Expiration Date field. Removing the expiration date value will grant the User unlimited access with no end date, while extending it will continue their access until the specified date.
