Time-of-day restrictions are a type of access control mechanism that limit user access to systems based on predefined time periods. This is to prevent users from accessing the system during times when they should not, such as non-business hours or during maintenance windows. This is not related to the attributes of the user (attribute-based) or their role within the organization (role-based), and it does not necessarily reflect the least privilege principle on its own. Instead, it specifies when the access is permitted, regardless of other attributes or roles.
