    "attributes": {
        "B2B": true,
        "guarded": false,

Permissions

The geofences relationships with other objects is very flexible:

...

If a user has access to a geofence, it means that the user can edit/remove the geofence and can subscribe to the geofence events.

Calendars

Calendars can be linked to geofences. This will limit events generation to the calendar schedule.
