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 ]
