    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

Hi

Question with regards to you event handler.

1. Did you physically restrict users from using the button " create journal"

2. If you did, which "BREventOperationType.Journals." operation name did you use?

Thanks

    Hi,

    1. Did you physically restrict users from using the button " create journal"

    Ans: NO

    We have used  Extensibility rules(Journal event handler ), which will restrict all the users (including admin) to post unbalanced Journals.

    They can see all the options ( Balanced, Unbalanced, Balanced by Entity), but system will not allow to post the journals in any case, If it's not balanced.
