Time Restrictions for Policies

The Administrative UI lets you add time restrictions to a policy. When you add a time restriction, the policy only fires during the period specified by the time restriction. If a user attempts to access a resource outside of the period specified by the time restriction, the policy does not fire.

For example, if you create a time restriction for a policy that secures access to a resource, and specifies that the policy will only fire from 9am - 5 pm, Monday - Friday. A user will only be authenticated and authorized during the times indicated in the time restriction. The resources protected by the policy will not be available outside the times indicated.

Note: Time restrictions are based on the system clock of the server on which the Policy Server is installed.
