This time range is not the same as using a schedule to specify when the access right itself is effective. This only relates to a an individual person's ability to use the access right and not the access right’s validity or availability for other personnel. For example, one person may have an access right assignment with an effective time range of 1 day while another person may have the exact same access right assignment with an effective time range of 2.5 years.

When access rights are assigned to a person the default time range (Start Date and End Date) of that assignment are always in effect. This means that, unless the time range of this person’s access right assignment is changed (using the Change Assignment Properties window) the access right is immediately effective and never ends.
