# Auto-Revoking Share Access

The Revoke Access feature enables you to create time-limited data shares with automatic expiration, thereby enhancing security and compliance.

---

### Creating a Share with an End Date

Available for all Bobsled-managed [destinations](/v2/docs/destinations) (excluding External SFTP and External buckets):

1. Access the [**Share**](/v2/docs/create-and-manage-a-share) section
2. Choose your source (e.g., GCP) and destination (e.g., Snowflake)
3. Set required permissions for data transfer
4. Select the [data to transfer](/v2/docs/transferring-data)
5. In the review screen, locate and specify a future **End Date** for access expiration
6. Finalize by creating the transfer

> [!NOTE]
> **NOTE:** Setting the end date to “tomorrow” will revoke access at 00:00 UTC of the following day.

---

### Automatic Actions on End Date

When the End Date is reached, the system will automatically:

- Change the transfer status to "Paused"
- Revoke access permissions for all associated destination accounts

This ensures the timely cessation of data sharing and maintains security and policy compliance.

### Reinstating Access

To restore access after revocation:

1. Go to transfer settings
2. Edit the transfer details
3. Set a new future **End Date**
4. Save changes to reactivate the transfer

> [!NOTE]
> **NOTE:** Your consumer may need to repeat the steps to consume the data transfer according to the [destination](/v2/docs/destinations).
