Description
The Manage Access action now includes two new optional fields: Access Start Date and Access Start Time. These fields let you schedule when approved access should begin, instead of always granting access immediately when the workflow runs.
When a start date/time is provided, the existing duration logic is applied from that scheduled start (not from request submission), so end dates are calculated correctly after access begins.
Problem
Previously, access was granted as soon as the workflow executed. That made it harder to align access with planned start windows (for example, onboarding dates or controlled cutover timing), and could lead to timing mismatches when duration-based end dates were expected to begin later.
Solution
-
Access Start Date: Sets the UTC date when access should begin. Access starts at 00:00 UTC on the date selected.
-
If you don’t provide a start date, Workflows grants access immediately.
-
Select Duration is now calculated from the scheduled start timestamp (when provided), ensuring access end dates are aligned to actual start time.
-
All entered scheduling values are interpreted in UTC.
Who is affected?
