Creating temporary accounts that can be automatically deleted / disabled after a set time

Question

Hello,

I am trying to find out if it would be possible to create a tool/ process on Adaxes that will allow me to create a new AD user and set a time limit on the account before its deleted / disabled? For example 24 hours / 7 Days?

I need to have the option to create temporary accounts for some users that may require access to our computers temporarily but without the need of access to network drives / data or emails etc.

If this is possible is there any documentation or guides on how i might create a new users or set deletion / disable times?

Thanks Rhys

Hello,

It can be done using a custom date attribute (e.g. CustomAttributeDate1) and a scheduled task. The attribute should be present on the user creation form and will be used to specify when the account should be disabled/deleted. The scheduled task will check the date attribute and remove the user when the time comes. It will look like the following:
