You can enable individual access to services for users and groups inside of Server.app 3.0.

Click on the action (gear) icon below the list of users or groups, and choose "Edit Access to Services...":
You'll be presented with a list of services that allow access to be enabled and disabled for this user/group. If the list is disabled, you may need to choose to "Manage Service Access":

dscl localhost read /Local/Default/Groups/com.apple.access_afp GroupMembership

In order to change a user's expiration, in the Server.app you need to go to "Users", then make sure that "Local Network Users" are chosen (using "All Users" keeps that option greyed out). Then highlight that user in question and from the cogwheel button below the list choose "Edit Password Policy".
There you will find all the "missing options" like password complexity as well as expiration for various reasons.
