share "using specific people" add expiry facility
- We don't have this feature Today in SPO and ODFB, but as announced at SharePoint Conference it's coming!
MicrosoftI'm going to jump in here and provide a small correction :)
We are not building expiration of individual links just yet. Instead, we are building what we call "Expiring external access" which will let you expire external access on a per-site level (instead of a per link level).
For example, if the policy is 90 days:
On Day 1, you share Doc1 with a user. They will now expire on Day 90.
On Day 30, you share Doc2 with the same user. They still expire on Day 90.
On Day 90, they lose access to Doc1 and Doc2.
This should still meet your needs but it will actually cover more cases than just expiring sharing links. Let me know if you have any questions!

StephenRiceHello, will this apply to Teams/Office 365 Group membership also or just to SharePoint sites. Do you have a link to the announcement? Thanks.

Hi Kevin_Hoyt,
This will not apply to O365/security group membership. You can control access in similar fashion using the Azure AD Access Reviews feature.
As far as links to the announcement, the closest I can find at the moment is from our SPC 19 talk which can be viewed here. Expiration demo and announcement starts at 48:20 or so. Enjoy!

StephenRice I don't understand why I cannot find the option 'Guest access to a site or OneDrive will expire automatically after this many days' in the Sharing of SharePoint Admin.

Hi kmktnn,
This feature is not showing up yet as it has not yet rolled out to Production customers. This should start rollout in January/February. Thanks!

StephenRice Thanks for the info! I was able to find the announcement here: Security announcements
The problem with access reviews is you have to define and name every group where you want them applied, you can't create an access review policy and have it apply to ALL groups and then any new groups that are created. Very disappointing. I want to create an access review to force owners to validate external users to their Teams and there is no way to do that without creating a manual process of monitoring when new Teams are created to add them to the review. Less than useful for me.
