Access restrictions can be maintained individually for application users or generally for user roles.

Read and write access is carried out in the “Access Restrictions” tab.

• No access (only available as a restriction for write access)
  The user has no write access.

• Unrestricted
  The user has access to all business data related to the view.

• Restricted

For example, if a view has the permission context “Location”, you can restrict write access in this view to business documents that belong to a specific location. To do this, select or deselect the corresponding checkbox in the Read access or Write access column.
