"temporary" users & "standard" users

elisabettaf over 7 years ago

Hi,

About various types of users, I am wondering if it is possible
to distinguish between "temporary" users (i.e. users with an
expiration account date) and "standard" users (i.e. users
without an expiration account date).

Furthermore in case of positive answer:

(1) How is it possible to distinguish between them?

(2) Assuming an expiration account date, how to create a
"temporary" user?

(3) Is there any online documentation about the cost of
building "temporary" users vs the cost of building "standard"
users? Moreover, is a "standard" user more expensive than the
"temporary" one?

Thank you

That I'm aware of, there is no way to create temp users (really).
Here are a few ways you might be able to achieve this:
1. Create a temp users group and use one of the custom profile fields for each user as their expiration date. Use a process model to go through the users expired and email them, deactivate them, task a user, etc.
2. Use Active Directory to have them in a domain for temp (plus manage them there) and use an ldap sync to add/remove them
3. Use a db to store your users, type, exp date. Use a model to manage them based on that data.

Also, check with your sales rep on licensing options.

Hope those help!
