# Taking doors off schedule on iOS

Primary and secondary admins can take doors off schedule and return doors to schedule

When a door is taken off schedule on iOS it:

* Ignores the door lock schedule
* Is either locked or unlocked for the duration of the off-schedule session
* Is locked down as usual in the event of a lockdown
* Allows access to users according to their access permissions
* Automatically returns to schedule at a specified time
* Can be manually returned to schedule by an admin at any time
* Can be returned to schedule by an event trigger

{% hint style="info" %}
During a lockdown all doors will be locked down regardless of whether they are on or off schedule
{% endhint %}

> **Example**
>
> A receptionist needs to step away from the reception for a moment, but the front door is unlocked. They can quickly take the door off schedule and lock it, so that the building is secure. Users with access permissions can still use a valid credential for access while the door is locked off schedule

## How to take a door off schedule

1. Go to the **Access** tab where all doors that you have admin controls for are listed. Expand the list if needed
