Who can make a Siyum on Mishnayos?

When is a Siyum on Mishnayos typically held?
A Siyum can be held on any day, but it is often timed to coincide with a special occasion, such as a Yahrzeit (anniversary of a loved one’s passing), a Bar or Bat Mitzvah, or during the Nine Days leading up to Tisha B’Av when festive meals are otherwise restricted.
