Configuring Active Hours

Configuring Active Hours

Overview

Active hours establish the times and days during which a teacher can start and run a class. Although teachers and site admins can login outside of the designated active hours, they cannot start a class or interact with students.

Site Admins can set Active Hours for the entire organization in the Setting menu.
