how to auto-expire a user from a group, based on date?

[minbori]

Hi all, apologies in advance if I'm repeating a question but I've searched the forum and the JED list and haven't found the info I'm looking for (maybe I don't know the right search terms to use?).

Anyway, my question is this: is it possible to set a user's ACL group membership for a limited time? Like the "start publishing date" and "end publishing date" on content items?

I have a use case where certain users should only have administrator rights for specific periods of time, and I don't want that to be dependent on another administrator remembering to go in and manually change the user's group on a specific date. Essentially I need to be able to put a user in the Administrator group, then one year later, automatically demote them back to Registered.

Either core Joomla or extension recommendations would be welcome, thanks!

Found

The extensions allows you to:
- Set Expiry date for Joomla user accounts

https://extensions.joomla.org/extension ... er-ue-man/

And https://extensions.joomla.org/extension ... userprune/
Their manual says:
"The Premium and Business editions provide a more consistent user account management at configurable regular time intervals."

And https://extensions.joomla.org/extension ... up-timely/

Never used any of them myself

Thanks for the response, it's appreciated. Looks like only "Assign UserGroup Timely" offers demotion instead of expiring the whole account, but that's farther than I got with my searches! I'll test it out and see.

Also for anyone else who's interested -- looks like Community Builder has an addon (CB Auto Actions) that might do something like this:
