Managing Time-Based Access

Managing Time-Based Access

Maileon provides two security features to control user access to the account. The Time restriction option limits user logins to specified days and time intervals. The Access duration & deactivation option lets you disable a user’s access manually or set an automated expiration date.

You can configure this feature under Settings → Users by clicking the user’s name (fig. 1).

 

 

Time restriction

In the Access control section, you can manage security requirements and timeframes for account access. Enable the Time restriction toggle to specify the days and time intervals during which the user is permitted to log in (fig. 2).

 

 

Use the toggle next to each day of the week to allow or block logins on that day (fig. 3). For each allowed day, set the permitted time period with the slider. Click Save to apply the settings.

 

 

When Time Restriction option is active:

• A user can only log in during the defined days and time frames.
• Login attempts outside the permitted time window are automatically blocked.
• The configured time zone corresponds to the account’s time zone.
• Time intervals can be defined flexibly using the time slider.
• The restriction only applies to new logins. The user who are already logged in when the time window ends are not logged out and can continue working.

 

Access duration & deactivation

With the ‘Access duration & deactivation’ toggle, you can disable a user’s access or let it expire automatically. When the toggle is enabled, choose one of the following options (fig. 4):

• Manually disable access: The user can no longer log in until access is enabled again. Any active sessions are terminated immediately.
• Set automated expiration date: Select a date in the date field. The user’s access is deactivated automatically at the end of the selected day. This option is useful for temporary users, such as external agencies, freelancers or interns.
