We are currently trying to restrict access to one of our apps we created on SOTI Snap. We have an app that we need our users to access only between the hours of 0500am and 1200pm.
Does anyone know if or how we can do this?
Thanks for any help in advance
Hello Maisie,
Unfortunately, SNAP does not offer this functionality by default.
Here's what I attempted as a workaround:
Step 1: Create a Dummy Homepage (this will serve as your initial page).
Step 2: Use the 'Run JavaScript' action in the page load event of this page, and insert the following script:
function restrictedFunction() {
// Get the current date and time
var currentDate = new Date();
var currentHour = currentDate.getHours();
// Define the allowed time range (e.g., 5 AM to 12 PM)
var startTime = 5; // 5 AM
var endTime = 12; // 12 PM
// Check if the current hour is within the allowed range
if (currentHour >= startTime && currentHour < endTime) {
// Execute the function if within the allowed time range
Snap.navigation.navigateTo('Page1');
// Add your function code here
} else {
// Display a message or take action if the function is called outside the allowed time range
alert('You are not allowed to access this app');
// You can add code here for handling the restriction (e.g., display an alert)
}
}
// Call the restricted function
restrictedFunction();
Step 3: Replace "Page 1" in the script above with the actual Homepage where users should be redirected if they are permitted to use the application. Otherwise, display an alert message.
You can also customize the duration in the script based on your specific requirements.

Thank you so much Deepak!
I will try this as a solution.
Is there a way to schedule the access times based on the enrolment group of the user? Is this something I can write in to the Java Script?
Hello Maisie,
Could you provide an example of your use case?
Based on my current understanding, it seems like you are looking for:
For instance, Enrollment Group 1 should be granted access to app A between 9 AM and 5 PM.
Enrollment Group 2 should be granted access to app B from 4 PM to 8 PM.
