# Import Time Off Requests (Schedule Requests Page)

Time off requests can be bulk-created from the Time off tab of the [Schedule Requests](/doc/docs/schedule-requests-web) page using the Import option. This option is available only when PTO Accruals is **not** enabled.

---

## Security

**Users with the following permission will be able to access the Schedule requests page:**

- Labor → Schedule → View Schedule Page

These permissions can be added to [custom user roles](https://restaurant365.us.document360.io/doc/docs/custom-user-roles) or [individual users](https://restaurant365.us.document360.io/doc/docs/users-overview-and-security). The [Permission Access report](https://restaurant365.us.document360.io/doc/docs/generating-a-permissions-access-report) can be used to determine which user roles or users already have these permissions assigned. For more information, see [User Setup and Security](/doc/docs/user-setup-security-and-location-access).
