============
I'd like to propose a change to the UI for granting tickets that expire.

1. In thinking about how I would use this feature, it would make more
sense to specify the expiration date/time, perhaps with a date/time
picker (you would also  need to be able to specify the timezone)
rather than the number of time units from the creation of the ticket.

With the current UI it is not clear when the time period starts - is
it from the creation of the ticket or from the time of first use?

Also, having the time units in seconds rather than hours or something
longer is not so useful. Picking an expiration for the ticket obviates
this issue.

2. An associated issue is: What is the user experience when trying to
use a bookmarkable ticket that has expired ?- Currently the browser
just sits there with a dialog message that says "Processing...".
Perhaps a message that you are trying to use an expired access ticket
would be more user friendly.
