The SKM starts keeping track of the number of operations performed by a user as soon as that user
makes a request to the server. Once the clock is running, the user has a one hour time period in which
to perform no more than the number of operations specified in the Maximum Operations per Hour
field. Should you change the limit for a particular policy, those changes are recognized immediately.
The following example illustrates the point: The rate limit for Key1 is 100 operations per hour.
• At 11:00 AM, User1 logs in and begins making requests using the Key1.
• At 11:30 AM, User1 has used 50 operations with Key1.
• At 11:31 AM, the administrator changes the rate limit for Key1 to 150 operations per hour.
• User1 can make only 100 more requests between 11:31 AM and 11:59 AM
NOTE:
Had the limit been lowered to 75, User1 would only be allowed to make 25 more requests.
Authorized Usage Periods
Use the Authorize Usage Periods section to define, view, change or delete usage periods in which
users within a group can use a key. A usage period can span up to 7 days of the week or any portion
of those days.
