# Restricted Access

Learn how to create restricted access for Mimeeq configurators by managing company groups, configuring permissions, and controlling product visibility across different user tiers in this…

**Overview**

This guide explains how to restrict specific configurators to certain customer groups in Mimeeq.

**Creating Company Groups**

1. Navigate to **Settings**
2. Select **Data** from the left menu
3. Click on **Company Groups**
4. Click **Create** to make a new company group
5. Enter a friendly name (e.g., "Customers Group 1")
6. The new group will open automatically for further configuration

**Configuring Company Group Settings**

**Basic Settings**

1. Set the group **Status** to **Active** (required for the group to function)
2. Review the **Can Export 3D** permission if you want to control 3D file exporting for this group

**Note:** The 3D export permission works in conjunction with your customer settings. To configure this:

* Go to **Settings** → **Account**
* Scroll to **Show Export 3D Button**
* Select your preferred option:
* **Private**: Only your company (Tier 1) users can export
* **Public**: Everyone can export
* **Restricted**: Only specified company groups can export

**Adding Companies to Groups**

1. Click the **Companies Connected** tab
2. Click **Add** to select companies to include in this group
3. Select the desired companies for this group.
4. Click **Save**

**Important:** A dealer/company can belong to multiple groups. Access permissions will be combined (if a company belongs to two groups, they'll have access to products restricted to either group).

**Restricting Product Access**

1. Go to the **Products datagrid** in the admin panel
2. Select the product you want to restrict
3. On the **General** tab, scroll to **Status and Availability** section
4. Find the **Privacy Condition** dropdown
5. Select one of the following options:

* **Private**: Only visible to your company's users (Tier 1)
* **Public**: Visible to everyone
* **Restricted To**: Available only to specific company groups (Tier 2)

3. If you select **Restricted To**, you'll see available company groups on the left
4. Drag the desired company groups to the right side side (restricted list)
5. Click **Save**

**How Access Validation Works**

When a user attempts to access a restricted configurator:

1. The system checks if the user is logged in
2. It verifies if the user's company is connected to a company group
3. It confirms if that company group has permission to access the specific product

**Important Notes**

* **Product Group Embeds**: You cannot restrict entire product group embeds, only individual configurators within the group
* **Best Practice**: When using product group embeds, restrict the individual configurators as needed
* All products with **Private** or **Restricted To** settings require user login to access

This is only available to the customers who use the Mimeeq auth library

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://help.mimeeq.com/users-and-permissions/restricted-access.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
