Restriction groups (SM201030)

This topic gives you information about the elements that you find in this window in Visma Net, such as fields, field values, buttons, and check boxes.

By using this window, you can create restriction groups for managing the visibility of system entities, or modify existing restriction groups by adding or removing system entities.
For more information about restriction groups, see: About restriction groups in Visma Net.

For simplicity, we recommend that you create restriction groups for use in specific workspaces by using the appropriate windows in the Manage section of the Row-level security workspace.

In this area, you can define a new restriction group or select an existing one for editing.

Element Description
Group name

The unique group identifier. If you are defining a new group, type the name here.
If you are modifying an existing group, select the group name.
Active

A check box that indicates (if selected) that the restriction group is active.
You can clear the check box to make the group inactive, which means that restrictions imposed by the restriction group do not affect visibility of entities to users.

By default, this check box is selected.
Group type

The type of the restriction group.
You can select one of the following types: A, A inverse, B, or B inverse.
For more information, see: About types of restriction groups.
Description The description of the group.
Entity type

The type of system entity that is included in the group.

The entity type selected in this field does not affect visibility of entities included in the restriction group.
Specific module

Optional.

The two-letter code of the workspace where the group is displayed, if the group should be viewed in only a specific workspace.
The workspace selected in this field does not affect visibility of entities included in the restriction group.
