how to define a CRON job to block users after n days?

I am really confused documents do not help much. How to disable users programmatically?

I think it must be related to: https://strapi.io/documentation/3.0.0-beta.x/plugins/users-permissions.html#user-object-in-strapi-context


module.exports = {
   // Every monday at 1am.
  '0 0 1 * * 1': () => {
    // BLOCK USERS CREATED 30 DAYS AGO
  },
};
Solution

  • I do agree with @deceze about checking the user during login to validate their account has not "expired".

    Alternatively, as I mentioned in the Strapi slack you can have the cron check for users and set them as blocked using the internal API:

    
let today = new Date();

let blockedUsers = await strapi.query('user', 'users-permissions').find({ "blockDate_lte": today});

blockedUsers.forEach((user) => { strapi.query('user', 'users-permissions').update({ id: user.id }, { blocked: true}));
