Use this form to set up and maintain posting restrictions for the journal templates in the form. Posting restrictions determine whether specific users or user groups can post only journals that they create. You can use posting restrictions as an alternative to blocking a user from a form.

Posting restrictions are assigned to the journal name, so you must specify posting restrictions for each journal name that you want to use them for. By default, posting restrictions do not exist for any journal name, so all users can post any journal, regardless of who created it.

Note Note

Posting restrictions are not available for some journal types. If you cannot click the button in the form, you cannot use posting restrictions with that journal.

When you set up posting restrictions, existing user group permissions are taken into consideration. If the user (or the user group that the user belongs to) does not have permission to post to the journal type assigned to the current journal name, that user or group is hidden, and you cannot define posting restrictions for that user or group.

You also can use posting restrictions in addition to approvals and workflows. For more information, see Set up financial journal approvals.
