Access during lunch time

[Esteban.Dambrain]

Good morning,

i wish know if it's possible to allow a websites during a period of time ( example between 12:00 & 14:00 PM) and then reblock the access?

Thanks in advance for your Reply

Hi @Esteban.Dambrain

Yes It is possible to create a schedule to allow specific access only at certain times of the day

If you go to Objects > schedules and create a schedule, then go to Policies > Security and create a new policy and in the Actions select your schedule, then commit the new policy this will work

There is one catch: an existing session that passes the boundary of the schedule is not automatically terminated. New sessions will be blocked as they do not match the schedule but the existing sessions live in the data processing layer where the security policy is no longer checked (unless the application changes which triggers a new policy check)

one workaround that comes to mind, if it is important any remaining sessions are closed, is to force a commit at the end time of the schedule. A commit will rematch existing sessions to the security policy

Hi @Esteban.Dambrain,

Yes that is perfectly possible.

You can add a rule with a schedule :

Schedule : To limit the days and times when the rule is in effect, select a schedule from the drop-down. To define new schedules, click New.

Cheers !
