Creating and modifying a maintenance window

A maintenance window, or time window, is an RBAC object that describes the frequency, start time, duration, and permissions for providing time-based access to an object. For example, you could set a specific time period each Friday to make a set of servers available for software deploy jobs.

To create or modify a maintenance window for a server

1. On the Policy Access Control List panel, click Add under the Time Windows section.
   The Time Window panel is displayed.
2. Complete the fields in the Time Windows tab as described in the following table:
   The [confluence_table-plus] macro is a standalone macro and it cannot be used inline.
   
3. Enter the information in the Permissions tab, as follows:
   1. Click the Add Entry icon. The Add New Entry window opens.
   2. From Role, select a role to which you want to grant permissions to execute against the maintenance window.
   3. Under Available Authorizations, grant the desired authorizations for the role, for example SnapshotJobExecute.
4. To close the window, click OK.
5. To finish creating the policy, click OK.

ACL Policies can contain a number of maintenance windows. To execute a job during a maintenance window, right-click the job, choose Add permissions, and apply the ACL policy containing the maintenance window to the job.
