In DeployHQ, you can configure times where deployments are restricted. During these periods, non-administrator users will not be able to make a new deployment, and automatic and scheduled deployments will be rejected. Only administrators will be able to make new deployments. Restrictions apply during the time zone configured in your account settings.

You can set these restrictions in two places: across your whole account, or for an individual project. The two work together - a deployment is restricted whenever the account-wide schedule or the project's own schedule is in effect, so a project can only add further restrictions on top of the account ones, never remove them.

## Account-wide availability

Head to the **Settings** tab at the top of the screen, then **Deployment Availability** on the left hand side.

You'll find each weekday listed in order from Monday-Sunday, and you can drag the sliders to the left or to the right to change the available times for your deployments for each day. You can drag the sliders all the way to the left or to the right on a given day to fully restrict them.

These restrictions apply to every project in your account.

## Per-project availability

To restrict deployments for a single project, open the project and choose **Deployment Availability** from the left hand menu, next to the project's **Settings**. The page works exactly like the account-wide one: drag the sliders for each weekday to set the times deployments are allowed for that project.

Use this when a particular project needs tighter control than the rest of your account - for example, freezing deployments to a production project on Friday afternoons while leaving other projects unaffected. Any account-wide restrictions still apply on top of the project's own schedule.

## What happens during a restricted period

Outside of the allowed times, only administrators will be able to make new deployments manually, and they will be shown a warning. For everyone else, all deployment types are prevented during a restricted period: manual deployments, automatic deployments triggered by a push to your repository, and scheduled deployments.
