# Control visibility to email records generated by notifications

Define conditions that restrict read access to target email records containing sensitive information.

## Before you begin

Role required: admin

## About this task

Use the Email Access Restriction \[email\_access\_restriction\] table to define conditions that control read access to an email record generated by a notification containing sensitive information. These conditions are processed by the base system ACL for the Email \[sys\_email\] table.

When you specify conditions to restrict access for a notification, the email records are visible only to users that match the conditions specified for the notification.

## Procedure

1.  Navigate to **All** > **System Notification** > **Email Access Restriction**.

2.  Click **New**.

3.  Complete the form.

    |Field|Description|
    |-----|-----------|
    |Notification|Choose the notification that generates the email record that should be restricted.|
    |Application|Displays the application scope.|
    |Table|Displays the target table for the notification that you selected.|
    |Condition|Use the condition builder to determine who can access the email record. The conditions must evaluate to true to enable read access to the email record.|
    |Description|Enter a short description of the read access restriction.|

4.  Click **Submit**.
