Work Schedule policy

4 min

This policy allows administrators to set work schedules for device users. After the scheduled work time, users are blocked from accessing specified apps and services, which include:

Exchange Active Sync services

AppConnect-enabled apps

Managed apps that use Tunnel on Sentry

After the scheduled work time-period, users are unable to open any of these apps or services. In its place, users see a message indicating that access is not available. Message can vary, depending on the app or service they attempt to use. The policy starts and ends after the next scheduled sync following the specified start time and duration period.

This section contains the following procedures:

Adding a Work Schedule policy

Use this procedure to add a policy that sets a work schedule and blocks apps and services outside of the scheduled time.

Enforcement of this policy requires Standalone Sentry 9.0.0.

Procedure

Log into the Admin Portal.

Select Policies & Configs > Policies > Add New > Work Schedule.

Enter the policy name in the Name field.

Select Active to enable the schedule. Select Inactive to disable the policy.

Select Higher than or Lower than in the Priority option, then select the other priority. This option is available only if you have two or more Work Schedule policies. Use it to select the priority on one policy over the other in cases of conflicts.

Use the drop down to select a Timezone, which defines the start and end times for the policy.

Set up the weekly work schedule. The policy treats unchecked days as a time period outside of the work schedule, blocking affected apps and services for that 24-hour period.

Select Save to add the policy to the Policies page.
