Assessment

This issue has not been assessed yet.

Description

The current Web Access Control Spec lets you create rules to control whether an agent or group of agents can access resources, and to specify specific modes of access (read, write, append, control). However, it doesn't allow for the specification of when these accesses are permitted.

In the simplest (and perhaps most useful) use case, this would allow for expiry of a given authorization rule. For example, a user wants to grant temporary access to someone, and creates an authorization rule that expires in twenty-four hours. However, other use cases could call for the ability to specify when the rule activates, or involve the ability to limit access to a certain time window each day, etc.
