[Freeipa-users] Granting rights temporarily

Hi,

Another interesting recommendation from security is that all granted 
access (that is exceptional, rather than permanent) should be limited in 
time from the onset.

If this is not possible all granted access needs to be documented and 
revised regularly. However a system that would automatically revoke access 
after a certain period is preferred from a security/administrative 
perspective. (Period to be defined when granting access)

This would mean that e.g. sudo-rules, group memberships, etc. could have 
due dates and that IPA ensures that these rights are revoked in due time.

So I was wondering whether this is something that was already discussed as 
a feature for IPA ?
