# es_event_settime_t

A type for an event that indicates the modification of the system time.

```
struct es_event_settime_t
```

## Overview

The system doesn’t generate this event if the source app contains the entitlement `com.apple.private.settime`.

Even if an Endpoint Security client responds to an [`ES_EVENT_TYPE_AUTH_SETTIME`](/documentation/EndpointSecurity/ES_EVENT_TYPE_AUTH_SETTIME) event with [`ES_AUTH_RESULT_ALLOW`](/documentation/EndpointSecurity/ES_AUTH_RESULT_ALLOW), the operation may still fail. For example, the process used to set the time may lack sufficient privileges.
