# Using Access Groups in Studio

## Using Access Groups in Studio - a Practical Example

Studio Access Groups provides a quick and easy way to restrict the data rostered to a target applications by RapidIdentity Studio.

By default, a target application is set to send all roster information to a target application. The following describes how Access Groups can be configured on a target application to only send rostering information for, as an example, specific schools and grades.

*This example assumes that Access Groups have not already been configured for the target application.*

          **Note:**

          

Since not all Student Information Systems provide Grades for Teachers, this example creates two Access Groups for the target application, one that restricts students in certain schools and grades while the other restricts teachers in the same schools.
