"Until" not available in new reservations interface
Hi,
I apologize if this is addressed somewhere, but I can't find it...
I see some screenshots in the documentation and on the Wiki that show an
"Until" option on the "New Reservation" page. How can I configure a
user or group to have that option available to them?
Thanks.

Doug,
You are correct. It looks like I must have set initialmaxtime directly in the
database to get it up to 45 days. I'll create a JIRA issue to make that
easier than setting the value in minutes and to allow it to be a longer
duration than what you can set now.
If you want to set it in the database, you'd want to set initialmaxtime for
the desired group in the usergroup table. If you created a user group named
"long duration", you could then set it with the following query:
UPDATE usergroup SET initialmaxtime = 65535 WHERE name = 'long duration'
Then, just add any users to that group to allow them to see 45 days.

Doug,
Unfortunately, the "Until" option is all or nothing. You can either specify
having the reservation forever, or be limited to having the drop-down box for
the duration. You can, however, change the max initial time setting for a
user group to give them up to 45 days.

Michael and Andy,
Thanks for the answer. That was it. One more question related to this:
what controls the limit on the date specified in the "Until" box? Are
these still controlled by the time fields in the group settings? I'd
like some users to be able to use the "Until" option, but not be able to
reserve something forever.
Thanks again.

Click on Manage Groups. Add the user to the "Specify End Time" user group.
