**Description**

Ensure the team's Pending Invitations list does not contain old invitations that were never accepted, including invitations that have already expired. Invitations that are no longer needed should be revoked, and the list should be reviewed regularly as part of access reviews.

**Rationale**

Old invitations are often sent to the wrong address, to people who have since left, or to contractors whose work has ended. Leaving them in place clutters access reviews and makes it harder to see who should really have access. Removing stale invitations keeps the team's access list accurate and easy to audit.

**Impact**

-   Keeps the team's access list accurate
    
-   Makes access reviews simpler
    
-   Invited users who still need access must be re-invited
    

**Default Value**

Invitations must be accepted within 72 hours. After that they show as expired in the Pending Invitations tab until they are removed.

**Pre-Requisites**

-   Team Owner role
