# General Settings The following settings are available in the **General Settings** module to allow customization of application behavior. * **Simple Access Request URL**: The URL to which users will be linked when requesting access to a specific record. By default, this is a Service Catalog item in an unframed Service Portal. However, this can be adjusted to direct users to your branded portal or the legacy UI Service Catalog experience. * **Enable session caching**: When selected, Simple Data Separation will use session caching for user audiences (groups, departments, companies, locations, and Defined Relationships) & approver tasks. This can improve response time, but may be disabled for testing & troubleshooting. * **Maximum inheritance levels:** Maximum number of levels to traverse when applying parent inheritance across Separation Rules. This can help prevent performance issues in deeply nested hierarchies. (Default: 10) * **getMyGroupsEngine**: Determines the engine used to gather a logged-in user's group memberships * **ServiceNow (Default)**: ServiceNow's standard getMyGroups engine returns a user's directly assigned groups plus any groups that are parent/grandparent/etc groups of the directly assigned groups. * **Simple Separation**: Simple Separation's getMyGroups engine returns a user's directly assigned groups plus any groups that are children/grandchildren/etc groups of the directly assigned groups. It is configurable to traverse a specified 'depth' when gathering groups (for efficiency) and can also include groups that are 'Managed by' the user. --- # 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.
