# pagerduty\_schedule

A [schedule](https://v2.developer.pagerduty.com/v2/page/api-reference#!/Schedules/get_schedules) determines the time periods that users are on call. Only on-call users are eligible to receive notifications from incidents.


## Example Usage

```
resource "pagerduty_user" "example" {
    name  = "Earline Greenholt"
    email = "125.greenholt.earline@graham.name"
    teams = ["${pagerduty_team.example.id}"]
}

resource "pagerduty_schedule" "foo" {
  name      = "Daily Engineering Rotation"
  time_zone = "America/New_York"

  schedule_layer {
    name                         = "Night Shift"
    start                        = "2015-11-06T20:00:00-05:00"
    rotation_virtual_start       = "2015-11-06T20:00:00-05:00"
    rotation_turn_length_seconds = 86400
    users                        = ["${pagerduty_user.foo.id}"]

    restriction {
      type              = "daily_restriction"
      start_time_of_day = "08:00:00"
      duration_seconds  = 32400
    }
  }
}
```

* `rotation_turn_length_seconds` - (Required) The duration of each on-call shift in `seconds`.
* `users` - (Required) The ordered list of users on this layer. The position of the user on the list determines their order in the layer.
