# Data Restriction

Users-rail entry. The comparison of restriction vs dynamic user filters vs per-list disable is the canonical data page: [Data restriction vs filters](https://docs.notionapps.com/databases/data-restriction-and-filters).

## What this is

Personalization: rows on a database match the logged-in user. Set the match fields here, then read the data page for disable-on-screen, nested lists, and in-app filters.

## Build it

1. Users → Data restriction.
2. Map user fields to row fields.
3. Publish. View as a client.
4. For staff exceptions and filter types, open the [data page](https://docs.notionapps.com/databases/data-restriction-and-filters).

## Disable data restriction on selected screens components

On a screen or component, turn personalization off when that surface should show all rows the user is otherwise allowed to see. Nested-list exceptions and filter types live on [Data restriction vs filters](https://docs.notionapps.com/databases/data-restriction-and-filters).
