The temporal membership settings on a group member include the start time and end time settings.
The start time setting specifies when the object is to be actually added to the group. This can be specific date and time or an indication that the object should be added to the group right away.
The end time setting specifies when the object is to be removed from the group. This can be specific date and time or an indication that the object should not be removed from the group.
You can view or modify both the start time and end time settings using the Web Interface.
To view or modify the start or end time setting for a member of a group
-
In the Web Interface, select the group, then choose the Members command.
-
In the list on the Members page, select the member, then click the Temporary Access button.
-
To view or modify the start or end time settings, use the Temporal Membership Settings dialog.
The Temporal Membership Settings dialog box provides the following options:
-
Add to the group > Now: Adds the object to the group immediately.
-
Add to the group > On this date: Adds the object to the group on the specified date and time.
-
Remove from the group > Never: Specifies that the object will not be removed from the group automatically.
-
Remove from the group > On this date: Removes the object from the group on the specified date and time.
Regular members have the Add to group and Remove from group options set to Already added and Never, respectively. To convert a regular member to a temporal member, set a specific date with these options for the member.
NOTE: Consider the following when configuring temporal group memberships:
-
You can view or modify the start time and end time settings by managing an object rather than the groups in which that object has memberships. To do so, select the object, then choose the Member Of command. On the Member Of page, select the group for which you want to manage the object’s start or end time setting and click Temporary Access.
-
On the Members or Member Of page, you can change the start or end time setting for multiple members or groups at a time. On the page, select multiple list items, click Temporary Access, then, in the Temporal Membership Settings dialog, make the changes you want.
