# Time-Based Access

Time-Based Access Policies let you create time-bound access requests. One type of time-based access policy can expire an Access Request after an hour. Another type of time-based access policy can expire an Access Request at a specific time. This means you can offer time-limited access to sensitive resources, or expire access at a certain time.
