removing user permissions

[Jad El Omeiri]

Hi guys,

In partymgr, when checking a certain user's permission groups, clicking on remove used to completely remove that permission for that user.

I just noticed that now, instead of totally removing the permission, it is actually setting a through date and expiring the permission.

I was wondering whether that was changed on purpose and whether from now on that was the expected behavior. Does anyone have any idea about this?

Thanks,

Hi Jad,

Yes, expiring the permission in stead of removing it is the expected
behaviour. Permissions assignments, like many other objects, have a limited
lifespan.
The reason for expiring in stead of a hard delete has to do with
accountability and the business need to be able to audit actions
(Governance, Compliance and Risk related).

Regards,

Hi Pierre,

Thanks a lot for answering.
At least now we know it's not a bug or any unexpected behavior...

Thanks,
