# Manage Schedules

As an administrator, you may create, run, delete, stop, edit, or resume schedules through the Schedules page in the Pentaho User Console.

After a report is scheduled by any user, an admin may edit, pause, or delete that schedule, as well as change the frequency of the report, change parameters, or adjust email settings. To distribute reports using email, make sure you have configured the email server. You also have the ability to prevent users from scheduling specific files or reports.

You might need to control when schedules can run by setting up periods of time to forbid schedules. Setting up blockout times allows you to perform administrative functions, such as system maintenance or managing server traffic during peak usage times.
