In SimpleOne, access to content items and categories is controlled by the system administrators. They can create user criteria records and define access conditions to any objects based on criteria specified.
Example:
You need to restrict the access to the Service Catalog so that only certain users could access and manage it: users with the content_manager role from Moscow, Russia. To do this, create a user criteria record and specify the conditions.
Create user criteria
Role required: admin, security_admin (for сreate-read-update-delete operations, also known as CRUD).
Users with non-administrative roles can only view user criteria created earlier.
To create a user criteria record, complete the steps below:
Navigate to User Administration → User Criteria.
Click New and fill in the fields.
Click Save or Save and Exit to apply the changes.

As an example, consider the following user criteria record with the conditions:
Location P or Q
Company X or Y.
If the Match all checkbox is selected, access is permitted only to the users with these locations and companies. An employee from company X and location Q can access objects, as well as an employee from company Y and location P.
If the Match all checkbox is clear, a user must meet at least one of these conditions. An employee with a location Q as well as an employee with company X can access objects.
API Usage
When you work with the user criteria functionality, the SimpleUserCriteria server-side API class allows you to perform your tasks.
