# Just-in-time settings API

The JIT Access Settings API allows organizations to define how long temporary access should last, and under what conditions. Admins can configure approvable, standing, and maximum access durations, create custom expiry presets, and enforce approval policies like requiring justifications or second-party approval. This aligns access privileges with least-privilege principles and audit requirements, without slowing teams down.

{% hint style="info" %}
To manage access durations and expiry options as code, use the [`p0_access_durations`](https://registry.terraform.io/providers/p0-security/p0/latest/docs/resources/access_durations) and [`p0_expiry_options`](https://registry.terraform.io/providers/p0-security/p0/latest/docs/resources/expiry_options) resources in the [P0 Terraform provider](https://registry.terraform.io/providers/p0-security/p0/latest/docs) (version `0.50.0` or later).
