    In your handler, you can just look up your user groups and react accordingly.

    This should work pretty much anywhere...

    Dim objUserInfo As UserInfo = BRApi.Security.Authorization.GetUser(si, si.UserName)
If objUserInfo.ParentGroups.ContainsValue(BRApi.Security.Admin.GetGroup(si, groupName).Group) Then
	....

    whereas this is specific to journal extenders:

    Using dbConnFW As DbConnInfo = BRApi.Database.CreateFrameworkDbConnInfo(si)
	Dim objUserInfo As UserInfo = EngineUsers.GetUser(dbConnFW, yourJournalObject.Header.Header.CreatedUserID)
	If objUserInfo.ParentGroups.ContainsValue(BRApi.Security.Admin.GetGroup(si, groupName).Group) Then

Thanks Jack. The first option is now fit for our requirement. The only flaw i see is, users are still able to post / unpost the existing unbalanced journals unless they are rejected. No issues with the new journals.
