Setting Internet Access Time Limits

The Set time limits on web access option controls the amount of time a user can access the World Wide Web. By default, all users can access the Web for an unlimited amount of time. Time limits can be set based on specified hours on specified days. You can also specify a total number of minutes per day or a total number of hours per month to allow access to the Web and combine all combination above to create the rules that suit your needs.
