Schedule groups

What is the Schedule groups feature?

Use the Schedule groups feature to schedule when to apply your roles to your endpoints.

Schedule types

When adding a schedule, you can create two types:

• Fixed Schedule: Choose a specific date range.
  • If you do not specify the end date, the range defaults to continuous.
  • If you do not specify the start date, the schedule begins immediately.
• Recurring Schedule: Choose a range of 15 minute blocks per day within a full calendar week.
