Defining Time and Location Availability for a Badge

You can define conditions for when and where a badge can be used. By default, badges can be used from any location and at any time.

Defining restrictions based on location ensures that it is only possible to use a badge if the location of the user and the resource being accessed are at the same location. For example, access to a company building is only possible if the user is located at the company building.

Defining restrictions based on time ensures that resources are only accessed during allowable time intervals. For example, access to a secure data center or secure online system is restricted to business hours.
