Temporary change access rights

What problem are you trying to solve?

Focus on the what and why of the need you have, not the how you'd like it solved.

We want to make sure the user priviliges dont stay at a raised level. We currently have readonly accounts, and then specifically boost thoose to readAndWrite if we need to change something we cant do in our system.

What would you like to see happen?

Describe the desired outcome or enhancement.

The database account should have a base level of rights and return to that level after a given amount of time.

Why is this important to you or your team?

Explain how the request adds value or solves a business need.

For the purpose of not changing data by accident.

What steps, if any, are you taking today to manage this problem?

In the Atlas UI first raise the users access level. Do the changes in Compas. Then set the level of user access down again in the Atlas UI
