📎 AI Summary:
The thread discusses the need for a tool to automate the scheduling of revoking file share access permissions, as the original poster finds manual management error-prone and inefficient. The first responder suggests that while such tools might exist, none are known to specifically support time-based access, and proposes the idea of building a custom web application combined with PowerShell scripting to handle approval workflows and access management. Overall, the conversation highlights a gap in existing tools for temporary access automation and suggests potential custom solutions.

Hi all,
Is there a tool available that can schedule the revoking of file share access permissions?
Example: Two members need read access to the Sales folder for one week. We get approval and add them to the required security group, but are too busy to remember dozens of these each week.
I know it can be done via Powershell, but for the volume required and the risk of human error, it's not worth it.

TIA,
Eoin

I'm sure there are tools but I'm not aware of any that do time based access. Seems like this could be built as a web site with an approval process and a powershell script that processes the requests.
