# Scheduled-task permissions

Review every tool and external destination, keep high-impact actions gated or narrowly scoped, verify connected-account access, and use the least powerful agent configuration.

![Scheduled-task permissions in Foxora v5.0.3](/docs/images/v5.0.3/automation/schedule-editor.webp)

## Where this lives

Open **foxora → Schedules**.

A scheduled task starts a configured agent or crew automatically at a specified time or recurrence and records each execution as a run with status, logs, and output.

> **Safety:** Scheduled work may run without a person watching. Avoid unrestricted destructive actions, confirm connection availability, and make repeated execution safe.

## Steps

1. Open **foxora → Schedules**.
2. Review every tool and external destination.
3. Keep high-impact actions gated or narrowly scoped.
4. Verify connected-account access.
5. Use the least powerful agent configuration.
6. **Confirm the result.** Use Run now for a controlled test, inspect the created run and destination, then confirm the next scheduled time in the intended timezone.

## Choose the right path

- Use a one-time schedule for deferred work.
- Use recurrence for predictable maintenance or reporting.
- Use an event-triggered workflow when timing is not the real trigger.


## Confirm it worked

- Use Run now for a controlled test, inspect the created run and destination, then confirm the next scheduled time in the intended timezone.
- The screen, command, file, run, or destination named in this guide reflects the expected state.
