Rules Time Zones

Hi All,

I need to build a rule that alerts for specific activity by specific user past working hours.

For example:

I want to alert when user "Dani" logs in to the computer not between 7:00 - 18:00.

The problem is that the user is not in the same time zone as me.

So login logs at 19:00 in my time zone can be actually at 14:00 in the other user time zone.

-  Does anyone know what is the time zone that the rules go by?

-  Is it set by the configuration of the user that the rule is running as? 

 

Thanks !

Yes, the rules use the time zone of the user running the rule.

Thanks for the fast reply.

 

If the time zone of the user is changed? Does it also changed for the rules?
