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.
• Phabricator tickets: phab:T153815
• Proposer: —Thanks for the fish! ^{talk•contribs} 17:20, 28 November 2020 (UTC)

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)
  • @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)
