temporarily disable an administrator full access

[Rayw]

I have a 3rd party vendor that is an administrator with full access in my organization and I need to be able to disable their administrator account at nights and weekends.  The only way I can see to do this is to toggle organizational access from FULL to NONE.  Is there a batter way? Thank you in advance.

Disabling an admin account for specific times like nights and weekends isn’t natively supported in Meraki, but there are a few ways you could do it, like using the API to automate toggling their access is a solid option. Create a script to switch their organizational access between “Full” and “None” and schedule it to run at the times you need. It might take some setup, but it’s a pretty effective solution once it’s in place.

Another idea is to manage access through your firewall. If the vendor accesses the Meraki dashboard from specific IP addresses, you could create time-based rules to block their traffic outside the allowed hours.
