Update expiration on roles in bulk
We expire the roles for our student workers each semester, since they don't always come back to us after breaks. It would be nice if there was a way to update the expiration date of selected roles in bulk. I can see the benefit of having granularity of control on individual roles, like if someone's job function was changing after a certain point, but that's not a common scenario. It would be a lot easier if we could change a selection of them all at once, on both the user management screen and in the profile configurations. Even if I'm using the profiles, that's still about 20 dates that need to be manually and individually changed.

We follow the same situation where we expire the roles for our student workers each semester as well that we'd like to do this for. We also have part-time temporary employees too that similarly also expire on year by year basis. The part-time temporary employees do not come through our SIS feed and we add these as internal accounts. Today I had to update the expiration date for 45 separate and distinct roles for one temporary employee that took forever due to the endless clicking and entering of a date and saving the role. It would be so great to simply have a feature to change the expiration date on all staff roles (excluding the Patron role) at the same time as usually staff roles won't have different expiration dates.
