Share links that stop working when you said they would
Access tokens with an expiry date and an automatic rotation - so a link that was shared once does not stay valid forever.
Token Expiration (technical name to_token_expiration) is an Odoo 17.0 app for Odoo Community and Odoo Enterprise and Viindoo Cloud, built for whoever shares, security or compliance, administrator, developer.
At a Glance
The facts of Token Expiration, version 0.1, in one place. Published by Viindoo.
How It Works
Two screens - and then a scheduled job does the work.
Every live token, with its expiry
The record each token belongs to and the moment it stops working. Expired ones are rotated by the scheduler and disappear from here.
On the record that was shared
The share carries the token; when it rotates, the link people were given stops opening the document.
What You Get
An access token as a record, with an expiry date
A company-wide lifetime in days - zero means never expire
A scheduled job that rotates expired tokens in batches
The old URL stops resolving the moment the token rotates
A mixin any model can inherit to get expiring links
Tokens are tied to their record, and are refused a copy

What This App Does Not Do
Read this before you buy. Everything below is something the app deliberately leaves to another app or to you.
This is about token links, not about sessions or user accounts.
There is no per-record expiry to set by hand - the lifetime is a policy, applied uniformly.
A token expires at its date and is rotated by the next run of the job, not to the second.
Viindoo apps that share links use it; a custom model gets it by inheriting the mixin.
It sits in the general settings behind developer mode, because it is a policy set once, not a daily switch.

Instructions
Below is an example of how to use this module to manage the URL expiration while sharing documents in the Documents app.
To manage the tokens, you need to activate the developer mode.
Step 1: Navigate to Settings > General Settings, find the Default Token Lifetime feature, and configure the expiration time of the documents sharing URLs, counting by days.
Read more details on how to configure the expiration date for document sharing.
Step 2: Go to the Documents app, select the documents that you want to share, press Share then click Generate URL. An URL to share the selected documents will be generated automatically.
Step 3: Navigate to Settings > Technical > Rotating Tokens to view the token auto-created for the URL generated in step 2.
Step 4: Click on any token, you will see the default Expiry Date of this token is the Default Token Lifetime configured previously. This information can be modified.
Note: After the Expiry Date, other people no longer can view documents from the URL that you have shared with them.
