Group Expiration Options do not work?

Permalink
Hello Everyone,

I am trying to set up a Group Expiration Options. I add all newly signed users into a group that have 1 month access to certain pages. The problem is Group Expiration Options does not seem to work!

I tried to test if the option is working and changed the group's "Accounts expire after" to 5 minutes and "Expiration Action" to "remove user from this group" - nothing happens after 5, 10 or 15 minutes - users are still assigned to the group.

Is there a way to make it work? Do I have to run some script on a server-side that checks if users are still to be allowed in the group?

Last I checked (a few versions ago), the groups are only expired when that particular user logs in.

Pretty hacky, but if you're using it for permissions purposes, you should be OK (we were using it for email lists, so it was useless for us).
