Hello,
If you want to do this for new users you could do it with the following command:
The above would create a user that would expire on 30/Jan/2020.
If you want to do this for an existing user you can use the
usermodcommand:If you don’t want to specify an exact date, but set the user to expire in let’s say 15 days, you could do something like this:
Hope that this helps! Regards, Bobby
