Content Restrictions​

Content restrictions lets you control more finely the content you share. You can select specific age rating as well as content that you’ve set with a specific Label.

Content restriction is performed at series level, and will also apply to books, collections and reading lists.

Age Rating​

Select which age rating you wish to only allow or exclude. For instance, if you choose to only allow content under 10 as the restriction, then only content that has an age rating of 10 or under will be shared . If you choose to exclude content over 16 then those will be hidden.

Age Restriction Allow under Age Restriction Exclude over

Labels​

You can create arbitrary Labels when editing library content. When sharing, you can then choose to allow one or more Labels to have content matching those Labels shared. You can also exclude labels.

Labels are defined on Series:

Multiple restrictions​

When combining multiple restrictions, the following rules apply:

  • Exclusion rules have always priority over allow rules.
  • Allow rules apply with an OR condition: for example allowing a user to access content rated 10 or under, or labelled "kids", the user will be able to access content matching one or the other.
