It is around a security restriction and I cannot be more specific than that. It
is a precautionary measure as users could do what they need during legitimately
allowed access periods
No matter how good your monitoring and alerting is there is always a delay
whereas if you stop access first you don’t need to monitor and alert (for that
specific issue of course)

John,
Sorry to be a pain, but instead of answering your question can I ask one
instead? Who are these users? Are they really a problem and if so what is the
problem you have identified? My preference is always to give everyone as much
hassle free access to my databases as possible. I have plenty of monitoring and
alerting in place for the trouble makers. Just wondering, perhaps there is a
better solution than locking out users here.
Thanks,
Ethan

We have a requirement to prevent database logons by specific users (who can be
identified because they have a particular role) during certain times and I am
thinking of options and looking for any other thoughts on the best approach.
These are some of my thoughts
