  • Time-limited roles give users the defined role during the defined time period.

    Assigning the time-limited roles ensures users have elevated access only when needed, without requiring manual revocation. When you assign a time-limited role to a user, you specify a start and end date. The system automatically activates the role at the start date and removes it when the end date passes, eliminating the need for manual access cleanup.

    Supported roles and limits

    Time-limited roles enhance security by automatically reducing privileges when no longer needed, support compliance through time-bound access policies, and improve efficiency by eliminating manual tracking and revocation. The following table provides information about the available time-limited roles and limits:
