## 6.3.1.13.9.5.1  Maintain Restrictions UI
## Maintain Restrictions
The Maintain Restrictions UI combines all restrictions of a restriction type of all access categories per business role in one place. It includes a main view showing all access categories and assigned restriction types and a detail view where you can change the assigned restrictions and values if required.
## Main View
At the top of the main view, name and ID of the business role and the defined settings of the access categories are displayed. You can change these if required in the dropdown lists shown directly below. Underneath, the assigned restriction types are listed.
The More Actions area in the header includes the following options:
- Maintain Empty Restrictions
- When you are in the edit mode you can apply the selected field settings to all empty restrictions of a
selected access category.
That means the value in this field is automatically inherited to other restriction types the field is used in as well.
You want to, for example, define that the values for the country templates for Austria and Switzerland are applied in all restriction types the Company Code field is used in. So you select the values AU01 (for Austria) and CH01 (for Switzerland) and switch Leading Restriction on. Then these values are automatically inherited to all occurrences of the Company Code field.
- Default Values from Business Catalogs Business catalogs can contain default values. In rare cases, these might overwrite the values defined by looks like
you in the Restrictions and Values section. The system then displays a message listing the default values that are added from the business catalog. To avoid this, you then need to remove the respective business catalog from the business role. The respective symbol that is visible in the Restrictions Overview this:

- Display Restrictions Overview
You can navigate to the Restrictions Overview from here and from the object view in both edit and display mode
The following colour scheme of the assigned restriction types helps you to organize your work:
- Green: all restrictions of this type have been processed (either maintained with values or set to Not Maintained intentionally)
- Orange: at least one field is still empty Please note that there is one exception to this colour scheme. If a restriction is not directly maintained for a
specific access category but filled via inheritance from a higher access category it is shown as green even if it was not processed manually.
The restriction type you're currently working on is displayed under focus.
