Specify User Group Restrictions for a Content Type Schema Attribute

Note: This feature applies only to end users, not authors.

You can specify additional user group restrictions for content type schema attributes. For example, you could specify that the File attribute, which allows users to upload a file, appears only to members of the Support user group. This allows support agents to upload solutions for customer issues while other users do not see an option to upload a file.

To specify user group restrictions for a content type schema attribute.

1. On the Attribute Properties page for the selected content type, select Restrict attribute to selected user groups for the attribute you want to restrict.

2. Specify any of the following restriction options.

   1. Select User groups are required for attribute to specify that a user group must be associated with the specified attribute in this content type.

   2. Select Allow editors to change default user groups to specify that authorized editors can override the default user group.

   3. Select Restrict to specifies that the attribute appears only to members of the user group selected here.

   4. Select Default to specify that the selected user group is associated by default so, whenever this attribute is used it appears only to the default user group.
