If neither exists, only the superuser is allowed use of

This is the default configuration.
+.Sh IMPLEMENTATION NOTES
+Note that
+.Nm
+is implemented through the
+.Xr cron 8
+daemon by calling
+.Xr atrun 8
+every five minutes.
+This implies that the granularity of
+.Nm
+might not be optimal for every deployment.
+If a finer granularity is needed the system crontab at
+.Pa /etc/crontab
+needs to be changed.
