# Key Features * **Record separation can occur on any table**, based on any field that references Company, Group, Department, Location, User, or a custom Defined Relationship * Users only see records for the **Groups/Companies/Etc** to which they belong * Record separation can be applied on a **per table basis, with different rules per table** * Record separation can be applied based on **one or multiple fields** per table * Record separation can be **selectively applied** to only certain cases (ie - only separate groups x and y, but leave z unaffected) * **Record separation can be overridden** by **admin**, based on **'owner overrides'** (ie - if the logged in user is the 'Opened by' or 'Caller'), based on a user being an **approver** for a task, or based on membership to a **'visibility group'** * Record separation can be selectively **cascaded to child tables** * **Query Caching** may be utilized to increase efficiency * **‘One-way’ or ‘Two-way’** separation can be utilized to achieve heightened levels of security * **Simple Access Requests** allow one-off, time-bound access to specific users & records * **Child tables** can selectively be hidden from parent table views to protect sensitive data * **Session caching** is used to ensure the best user experience * Customization is available to manually add additional queries to a rule ### Example uses include: * Selectively segregate Incidents so that only their assignment group can see them. * Secure sensitive HR, Legal or Finance data so that only the appropriate groups have visibility. * Segregate data amongst assignment groups while allowing overarching visibility to select groups for oversight & compliance. * Allow users to request record access on-demand in an approval-driven, auditable fashion. * Hide data from end users without alerting them to its presence. --- # Agent Instructions: 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.
