Community Wishlist Survey 2021/Admins and patrollers/Allow global user rights to expire automatically

Random proposal ►◄ Admins and patrollers The survey has concluded. Here are the results!

Allow global user rights to expire automatically

Problem: Like local user rights used to, up until the 2016 Community Wishlist, global rights don't expire automatically, creating a burden of keeping track of the expiry dates for the rights that need to be removed.
Who would benefit: Stewards, mostly
Proposed solution: When granting global user rights, add a new option to set a time how long the rights will last (maybe a drop-down menu?).
More comments: There is already a patch pending review on phab/gerrit. It'd need someone to adopt it and push it forward.

Discussion

Just want to know that this will also require schema changes, so its not as simple as merging the pending patch --DannyS712 (talk) 23:33, 28 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
- @DannyS712: I think the schema changes were done in phab:T245413 and phab:T245925? If there needs to be further DB work, I am not sure though. Thanks, —MarcoAurelio (talk) 11:54, 29 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
