# Defining Task Restrictions

Task Restrictions allow Hyperscience admins to limit which users can perform tasks on a given page, based on the layout to which a page was matched.

## Defining Task Restrictions

Follow the steps below to define Task Restrictions:

1. Navigate to **Users >** **Task Restrictions**.
2. Click the **Add Task Restriction** button in the upper right.
3. In the modal that appears, provide a name for the restriction and click **Next**.
4. On the next page, define the permission groups eligible to complete Supervision and QA tasks (related to submissions or the individual pages where a restriction applies).
  1. View the Available Permission Groups list on the left side and click the checkbox next to the desired groups.
  2. Click **Add +** to move the checked groups to the Added Permission Groups list on the right side.
5. Optionally, if you only want to apply the restriction to pages that match specific layouts (rather than all of the Supervision tasks for a given submission), define the layouts where the restriction should apply.
  1. Expand the optional area to select layouts for restricted access.
  2. Scroll through the Available Layouts list on the left side and click the checkbox next to the desired layouts.
  3. Click **Add +** to move the checked layouts to the Added Layouts list on the right side.
6. Click **Save** to create the restriction rule.
