Background
As a scheduler, you can limit the availability of an access code in time. In that case, the participant can use the access code only between the start and end time you defined:
- Within the availability period, the participant can start or resume his session as long as the session has not been finished.
- Once the session is finished, the code is no longer valid.
You can also set a review period to allow the participant to view his finished session in read-only mode.
