Day-Pass scratch code

[Reess]

We want to bulk load scratch codes, use activate at first login, but then to disable account at 23:59 the same day. ie providing a Day-Pass facility

How would this be possible - would we need to use fsapi to set end date to start date for active codes, or run a query to disable accounts at midnight.

Yes, you can run the below command at midnight to disable all the Scratch Codes:

fsapi update_usr_attributes username=* timeleft=0

And then you need to recreate some new codes for the coming day as well.

We are in a corporate environment providing internet access for visitors and we intend to preprint a significant number of scratch codes that will be given as required to visitors.

To avoid having to create scratch codes each day could we identify those scratch codes that have been used ie with a start date, and use the FSapi to only delete those codes at midnight ?

Currently, fsapi doesn't have this kind of conditional delete.

Alternatively, you can simply use SQL to remove the username at midnight. You can write a simple program like the below pseudo code:
