## Overview
Access expiry lets administrators set an expiry date on user accounts. When a user's expiry date is reached, their account is automatically disabled. This is useful for contractors, temporary staff or any access that should end on a known date. The setting lives in the **People** section of your feature settings.

## How to enable access expiry
1. Go to **Settings → Features**.
2. Find the **People** section.
3. Turn on **Enable access expiry dates on your account**.
4. An **Unsaved changes** bar appears at the top of the screen. Click **Save** to apply your change.

Once enabled, administrators can set an expiry date on individual user accounts.

## Things to keep in mind
* When a user's expiry date passes, their account is automatically disabled.
* Enabling the feature only makes the expiry-date option available — you still set the actual dates on each user account.
* After turning the switch on, click **Save** in the **Unsaved changes** bar for the change to take effect.

## FAQs
**What happens when a user's access expires?**
Their account is automatically disabled once the expiry date is reached.

**Does turning this on immediately disable anyone?**
No. It only makes the expiry-date option available. Accounts are disabled only when an expiry date you have set actually passes.

## Who can do this
Only **Owners** and **Admins** can change feature settings. The **Settings** area is restricted to these two roles, and saving a change to Features requires the tenant-settings update permission, which only Owners and Admins hold. **Managers**, **Content Managers**, **People Managers**, **Instructors**, **Employees** and **Restricted** users cannot open Settings or change this toggle.
