**Schedule Maintenance Time:**
**Maintenance Mode** lets you place a device into a controlled state during planned maintenance. While a device is in Maintenance Mode, Kron PAM applies only the policy groups whose operation type is set to **Maintenance Mode**. It ignores all other policy groups until you exit Maintenance Mode. Operations Policy Group doesn’t apply to maintenance time.

Press CTRL + LMB to choose multiple devices. Then, you can configure properties for multiple device groups by assigning, deleting, and editing them.

To schedule maintenance time:
1.      Navigate to **Devices > Inventory**.
2.      Select the **Device**, then proceed by clicking the **Device** **Actions** button.
3.      Click on the **Schedule Maintenance Time **button.
4.      Select **Users **to allow device access during the maintenance period, and **Start – End Time **for maintenance.****
5.      Click the **Save **button, and click **continue** on the information screen that pops up.
