Use account valid period to manage temporary access
The Account Valid Period feature allows you to define a time window during which a user account is allowed to log in. Outside this period, the user is prevented from logging in.
This is useful for scenarios involving temporary access, such as contractors, interns, or external partners.
By default, a user account can log in indefinitely unless it is disabled or removed.
With Account Valid Period, you can:
Specify a start time and an end time for account access
Automatically block login attempts outside the configured period
Avoid manual enable/disable actions for time-bound access
Once the valid period expires (or before it starts), the user will not be able to log in, and existing sessions are not extended beyond the valid period.
Account Valid Period and Disable User are independent controls.
Even within the valid period, an administrator can still disable the user to suspend access temporarily
A disabled user cannot log in, regardless of the valid period
Re-enabling the user restores access only if the current time is still within the valid period
You can configure the account valid period in the following ways:
Set the start and end time when creating a user in the Authgear Portal
Set the valid period when creating a user via the Admin API
You can also configure or update the valid period for an existing user:
Go to Users
Select a user
Open the Account Status tab
Click Set Valid Period
Configure the start time and end time
Granting temporary access to contractors or consultants
Providing limited-time access for external partners
Enforcing access expiration for compliance or security requirements
