Excellent question! I think it would be workable either way, so the 
easiest to implement might be the way to go.

The behaviour I want is:
- a "downloads" group with a home page showing attached files
- restrict access to "downloads" via authorization groups
- have an authorization expire, so members can't get to "downloads"

Thinking out loud here, it would be better if the authorization group 
disappeared. That way I could have, for example, one group with a one 
week limit and another group with a four week limit. Or ...

Does the AuthUser page honour conditionals?
