Hi @timhowellvista ,

That should be doable. Are you able to share a snippet of the request from the DevTools Network tab with the date format included? (I'd guess it is ISO8601/RFC3339 formatted (e.g. 2024-12-02T10:08:06Z)). Please make sure to sensor any sensitive information if you include other parts of the request 😄 Thanks!

Thanks! I've made a PR with a proposed solution, but due to lack of access to an Azure environment I am unable to test the functionality. Could you try out the development branch and see if it works for you? Thanks!

# Clone the branch for PR #81
git clone -b feat/set-start-time --single-branch https://github.com/netr0m/az-pim-cli.git az-pim-cli-tmp
cd az-pim-cli-tmp

# Build the binary
go build

# Run the binary
./az-pim-cli

# Run with --start-date for the date (DD/MM/YYYY) and --start-time for the time (HH:MM) (24 hour)
./az-pim-cli activate resource --name <RESOURCE_NAME> --role <RESOURCE_ROLE> --start-date 31/12/2024 --start-time 10:00 --debug

# Optionally clean up the tmp directory
rm -rf az-pim-cli-tmp

You can see the docs for the dev branch at https://github.com/netr0m/az-pim-cli/blob/feat/set-start-time/README.md#azure-resources-1

Thanks. That looks like its working well:

This was with --start-date "09/01/2025" --start-time "08:00"
