The system administrator can restrict a user or group of users to open the gate only on specific days of the week or at specific times.
There is no limit to the number of "Time Groups" you can create, and different users can be assigned to each, such as: employees, suppliers, managers, morning/evening staff, etc.
**To restrict a user, first create the necessary restriction as follows:**
1. Go to "Controllers" in the left-side menu.
2. Locate the controller you want to modify and click on it.
3. In the top toolbar, click on "Settings."
4. In the submenu, click on "Time Group."
5. Click on "+" to create a new group, and you will see the following screen:
6. Enter a name for the group.
7. Enter a start and end date (optional).
8. Enter times from left to right: from ... to ... (specifying when users are allowed to open the gate).
9. Select the desired days.
10. Click on the green "+" if there are multiple time periods for the same group.
11. Click "Save" when done.
A group with a unique ID will be created immediately (see example image).
**Assigning a User to the Time Group:**
1. In the top toolbar, click on "Users."
2. Find the user you want to assign to the group and restrict by time.
3. Click on the "Time Group" row.
