# Adding a Term

On the Member tab of a role you can add a term length. Normally, roles remain active perpetually: the assignee can be changed, but the role will be assigned one way or the other. However, if you’d like the role to be assigned only temporarily, you can specify a term limit. To add a term limit, select Add Term.

You can now specify a wallet address to assign the role to for this term and the end date of the term. Once this end date is reached, the term will end, and the role will be unassigned. If you’d like to have the role transfer automatically to another assignee, you can set another role that follows the last.

Note that once a role has been given a term it becomes a termed role from that point forward. There is no way to revert a termed role back to an indefinite role.
