INTRODUCTION
------------

Role expire provides expiration to roles attached to users. Some features
available when you enable this module:

 * On the screen where admins create/edit users and assign roles (user/#/edit
   and admin/people/create), those roles can now have expiry dates.

 * A user with sufficient privilege ('administer role expire' or 'administer users')
   can view and edit roles and expiry dates.

 * On the role administration screen (admin/people/permissions/roles/edit), you
   can set a default duration for each role. The expiry duration can be a
   strtotime-compatible string (like "last day of this month").

 * Selecting a role on user_profile_form triggers a textfield (or textfields)
   where admins can enter expiration date/time for the selected role.

 * Defined expiry dates are displayed on the user's profile page, and is
   visible only to owners of the profile or users with proper permissions).

   If you don't want expiry dates to be displayed on user's profile, just
   go to admin/config/people/accounts/display and hide "Role expiration"
   pseudo field.

 * Actual role expiration occurs at cron time. Cron automatically removes
   expired roles from affected users.

 * You can configure a default role when each role expires (see Configuration
   section of this README file).

 * Rules module integration: One event and two actions.

INSTALLATION
------------

   https://www.drupal.org/documentation/install/modules-themes/modules-8
   for further information.

 * In order to enjoy full potential of role_expire module you need to
   properly configure Cron job on your server:
