Fields to fill in the Details tab:

* **User or User group**: Select a *User* or a *User group* from the list and confirm with the *OK* button.
* **Resource**: Select the resource you want to grant access to.
* **Start time**: When the permission gets active
* **End Time**: When the permission expires
* **Auto-delete checkbox**: If checked, this particular *Temporary permission item* will be deleted after permission expires.&#x20;

After the Temporary permission is deleted, you can still find information about it in the Audit tab -> Users -> Temporary permission event
{% endhint %}

#### Temporary permissions, Permissions tab

After assigning the *User, Resource,* and *Time,* you may want to review the resource permission scope. Click on the *Permissions* tab, and mark all the necessary *Permissions* from the list of available options.
