Manage holiday access

System Administration allows you to limit system access on holidays, which are managed in the Holiday Calendar.

You determine what holidays and dates are used in the Holiday Calendar. For example, if a holiday falls on a weekend but is observed on a weekday, you can set that holiday's date to the day your office will be closed.

The Holiday Access permission has priority over the user or role's regular access. For example, consider a user who has access from 8-5 on Mondays, but doesn't have access on holidays. When a holiday falls on a Monday, the user won't be able to access the application, even though they usually have access on Mondays.

At the end of the year, the current Holiday Calendar is rolled into Past Years, so you can view it at any time. Past Year calendars can't be edited, but they can be viewed for reference.
