# Managing Member Availability

As an administrator, you can manage your team members' availability settings in Distro. This is particularly useful when:

* A team member hasn't configured their availability yet
* You need to verify a team member's current settings
* You want to make quick adjustments to someone's schedule
* A team member needs help setting their timezone correctly

{% endstep %}

## Managing Availability

Once in the user preferences panel, you can:

### Set Working Hours

* Choose which days of the week the member is available
* Set specific time slots for each working day
* Add multiple time slots per day if needed (e.g., morning and afternoon blocks)

### Configure Time Zone

* Select the appropriate timezone for the team member
* This ensures accurate scheduling across different regions
* Helps prevent scheduling conflicts for global teams
