Grant a time-limited user role

Learn how to assign a role to a user temporarily. Use this feature if you have a user who needs to perform a one-time action that is normally outside their roles.

Before you begin

Role required: admin

Note:

• Time-limited user roles can be assigned to a user for a maximum of 5 days.
• For a user, you can assign only admin, snc_read_only, and (or) impersonator role as time-limited role.
• Time-limited user roles are not displayed to the assigned users under the Roles tab of the user (sys_user) record.
• When the time-limited role assigned users log in, they see a notification regarding the role assignment.
• Time-limited assignments can handle more than one role assignment to a user, even if the total duration across assignments is less than five days.
