Description:

Verifies that guest access to SharePoint sites, files and folders expires automatically after a set number of days, so guests who no longer need access lose it without manual intervention.

Why:

This policy setting configures the expiration time for each guest that is invited to the SharePoint site or with whom users share individual files and folders. This setting ensures that guests who no longer need access to the site or link no longer have access after a set period of time. Allowing guest access for an indefinite amount of time could lead to loss of data confidentiality and oversight.
