Expire dormant users
- Type
- auto_expire_dormant_users
- Category
- Lifecycle
- Enforced atWhen this policy is checked: while someone tries to open, while they create or change an invitation or hold, or after a denial (notify only).
- Authoring-time
- TiersWhere an admin can set this policy: the whole organization, one integration, or the physical device when the connector supports a device steward.
- OrgIntegration
- EnforcementHow a configured row behaves. Enforce blocks. Require approval opens an admin inbox when the type supports it. Audit only records and never blocks.
- Enforce
- DefaultWhat happens when no row of this type is configured.
- Not configured — idle members and residents are not auto-expired.
Uses org_user_activity. Idle time is since last access, or since membership/resident created_at if they have never accessed. Combination takes the minimum days. Matching users have invitations revoked and residencies removed. The user record remains. Admins are exempt unless applies_to includes admin.
When it is enforced
Evaluated when someone creates or updates an invitation, hold, or share. Requests that would exceed the limit are rejected — they are not silently rewritten.
Where to set it
Settings → Policies (org) or the integration Policies tab.
Policies never grant access. See thepolicies architecture guidefor how org, integration, and device tiers combine.
Arguments
The config object on create/update. Shared row fieldsenforcement (enforce, require_approval,audit_only) and enabled apply to every type;audit_only and disabled rows never block.
| Name | Type | Required | Values | Description |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| days | integer | Yes | — | Idle days before expiry. Must be greater than 0. |
| applies_to | string or string[] | No | agentapi_keyinvitationmemberresidentadminall | Principal kinds this row binds. Closed set: agent, api_key, invitation, member, resident, admin, all. Unknown strings and empty arrays are rejected. `all` matches every kind. When omitted, the type-specific default applies (see Default). Device-tier rows without `applies_to` often bind everyone, including admins. Default: Type-specific; org/integration rows often bind residents, not generic members. |
| output | string or integer | No | — | Optional channel or output id. When set, the policy binds only that output. When omitted, it binds every output of the tier target. A scoped row does not apply when the acting output is unknown. |
How overlapping rows combine
Most-restrictive: minimum of days across applicable rows. Disabled and audit_only rows never expire. Reject invalid days, do not clamp.
Example
A resident who has not accessed in 90 days loses residencies and authored invitations. Their login still exists. An org admin is left alone unless applies_to includes admin.
