## Specifying Manual Override Permissions

When creating a thermostat schedule for a thermostat, you can also specify `is_override_allowed` and the `max_override_period_minutes`. `is_override_allowed` indicates whether a person at the thermostat can change the thermostat's settings after the activation of the scheduled climate preset. `max_override_period_minutes` defines the length of the allowed override period. If an override period is allowed, at the end of this period, Seam sets the thermostat back to the active climate preset. The override period starts again each time a person makes a change at the thermostat.
When creating a thermostat schedule for a thermostat, you can also specify `is_override_allowed` and the `max_override_period_minutes`. `is_override_allowed` indicates whether a person at the thermostat or issuing an imperative HVAC or fan mode setting request can change the thermostat's settings after the activation of the scheduled climate preset. `max_override_period_minutes` defines the length of the allowed override period. If an override period is allowed, at the end of this period, Seam sets the thermostat back to the active climate preset. The override period starts again each time a person makes a change at the thermostat.

Through these override period settings, the Seam API provides you with the flexibility to customize the thermostat behavior to suit your needs. For example, a multifamily property manager may want to give complete control of the thermostat to a unit's residents as soon as they move into the unit. However, a short-term rental host may want to enforce stricter rules to ensure that their guests are using the associated HVAC system in a reasonable manner.
