A usage period is an uninterrupted time span, during which the authorization policy applies. A usage
period can span multiple days with a maximum of 7 days (e.g. from Monday 12:00 AM to Sunday
11:59 PM.) A usage period can have only one start day and time and one end day and time. To
establish a daily usage period of 9 AM to 5 PM, you must define a usage period for each day of the
week.
If the start day and the end day are the same, and the end time precedes the start time, the
authorization policy applies at all times except those between the end time and the start time on that
day.
For example, if the start day and time are Monday 13:00 (1 PM) and the end day and time are
Monday 08:00 (8 AM), then operations are allowed from 1 PM Monday until 8 AM the following
Monday.
Active Versions
Use this section to configure the number of active versions allowed for a versioned key. Active versions
of a key can be used for both encryption and decryption (or Sign/SignVerify, or MAC/MACVerify
depending on the algorithm).
