# Restriction groups (SM201030)

This topic provides information about the elements 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](https://docs.vismasoftware.no/visma-net-erp/help/access-management/row-level-security/about-restriction-groups-in-visma-net-erp/index.md).

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.

## The top part

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

<table class="vismanet-table">
  <colgroup>
    <col class="vismanet-table__col--key">
    <col>
  </colgroup>
<thead class="vismanet-table__head">
  <tr class="vismanet-table__header-row">
<th class="vismanet-table__cell vismanet-table__cell--header">Element</th>
<th class="vismanet-table__cell vismanet-table__cell--header">Description</th>
</tr>
</thead>

<tr class="vismanet-table__row">
<td class="vismanet-table__cell">Group name</td>
<td class="vismanet-table__cell">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.</td>
</tr>

<tr class="vismanet-table__row">
<td class="vismanet-table__cell">Active</td>
<td class="vismanet-table__cell"><p>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.</p>
<p>By default, this check box is selected.</p>
</td>
</tr>

<tr class="vismanet-table__row">
<td class="vismanet-table__cell">Group type</td>
<td class="vismanet-table__cell">The type of the restriction group.
You can select one of the
following types: <strong>A</strong>, <strong>A inverse</strong>, <strong>B</strong>, or <strong>B inverse</strong>.
For more information, see: <a href="/visma-net-erp/help/access-management/row-level-security/about-types-of-restriction-groups/index.md">About types of restriction groups</a>.</td>
</tr>

<tr class="vismanet-table__row">
<td class="vismanet-table__cell">Description</td>
<td class="vismanet-table__cell">The description of the group.</td>
</tr>

<tr class="vismanet-table__row">
<td class="vismanet-table__cell">Entity type</td>
<td class="vismanet-table__cell"><p>Required.</p>
<p>The type of system entity that is included in the group.</p>
</td>
</tr>

<tr class="vismanet-table__row">
<td class="vismanet-table__cell">Specific type</td>
<td class="vismanet-table__cell"><p>Optional.</p>
<p>The system entity that is used by the system for
filtering restriction groups on the <strong>Restriction groups</strong> tab of the entity window.
The entity type
selected in this field does not affect visibility of entities included
in the restriction group.</p>
</td>
</tr>

<tr class="vismanet-table__row">
<td class="vismanet-table__cell">Specific module</td>
<td class="vismanet-table__cell"><p>Optional.</p>
<p>The two-letter code of the workspace where the group is
displayed, if the group should be viewed in only a specific workspace.</p>
<p>The workspace selected in this field does not affect visibility of
entities included in the restriction group.</p>
</td>
</tr>

</table>


## The table

You can use this table to view the list of system entities of the selected type and include any of them to the selected restriction group.

<table class="vismanet-table">
  <colgroup>
    <col class="vismanet-table__col--key">
    <col>
  </colgroup>
<thead class="vismanet-table__head">
  <tr class="vismanet-table__header-row">
<th class="vismanet-table__cell vismanet-table__cell--header">Column</th>
<th class="vismanet-table__cell vismanet-table__cell--header">Description</th>
</tr>
</thead>

<tr class="vismanet-table__row">
<td class="vismanet-table__cell">Included</td>
<td class="vismanet-table__cell">A check box that you select to include the entity in the restriction group.</td>
</tr>

<tr class="vismanet-table__row">
<td class="vismanet-table__cell">Entity</td>
<td class="vismanet-table__cell">Read-only. A field that contains the ID of the particular entity and additional information about the entity; pieces of information are separated by commas.</td>
</tr>

</table>
