Visitor Account Expiration Properties

do_expire , modify_expire_time , expire_after and expire_time : These fields are used to determine
the time at which the visitor account will expire.

If modify_expire_time is “none”, then the account has no expiration time set.

If modify_expire_time is “now”, then the account is disabled and has no expiration time set.

If modify_expire_time is a value that specifies a relative time change, for example “+1h”, then the
visitor account’s expiration time is modified accordingly.

If modify_expire_time is a value that specifies an absolute time, for example “2010-12-31 17:00”,
then the visitor account’s expiration time is set to that value.

If modify_expire_time is “expire_after” or “expire_time”, then the expiration time is determined
according to the expire_after or expire_time fields as explained below.

If expire_after is set and not zero, then add that time in hours to the current time and use it as the
expiration time (set do_expire to 4 if it has not otherwise been set).

Otherwise, if expire_after is zero, negative or unset, and expire_time has been specified, use that
expiration time (and set do_expire to 4 if it has not otherwise been set). If the expire_time
specified is in the past, set do_expire to 0 and ignore the specified expiration time.

Otherwise, if expire_time is not specified, then the expire_time is not set and do_expire will
always be set to zero.

expire_postlogin : This field determines the amount of time after the initial login for which the visitor
account will remain valid. If this field is not specified, the default value is 0 (account lifetime not set).

expire_usage : This field determines the total amount of login time permitted for the visitor account. If
this field is not specified, the default value is 0 (account usage is unlimited).
Other Properties

All other properties specified at creation time are stored with the visitor account (for example, email ,
visitor_name , visitor_company , visitor_phone , sponsor_name as well as any custom fields that
have been defined)
Account Expiration Types
