Override Blockout Hours or Dates

If a licensing request comes in during a blockout period, Salesforce notifies you and you can override the blockout. For example, if you designate blockout hours from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM, Salesforce downloads events during this time but doesn’t apply them until the blockout period ends. If you want to apply an event at 2:00 PM, you can override the blockout period.

Required Editions

Available in: Lightning Experience
Available in: Enterprise, Performance, and Unlimited Editions

For example, to view contracts, a user needs the Read permission on contracts. To assign a given permission to a user, that user’s license (or licenses) must support the permission. Multiple licenses can support a single permission.

  1. Go to the Licensing Event Activity grid manually or by clicking the licensing request notification found under the bell icon in the header.
  2. Locate the event that you want to override. Click the dropdown menu at the end of the row, and select Override.
  3. From the confirmation dialog, click Override.
