Overview
Company-Wide Builder Restrictions are account-level settings that affect all users without the Bypass Editor Restrictions role permission.
These settings are different from element-level restrictions, which control editing options for specific content elements.
Note: Company-Wide Builder Restrictions are configured by request only. Contact your Customer Success Manager or Implementation Manager to enable or modify these settings.

Content restrictions allow you to hide specific content elements or prevent users from adding new structures to an email.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I configure these restrictions myself?
No. Company-Wide Builder Restrictions are configured at the account level by request.
Contact your Customer Success Manager or Implementation Manager to enable or modify these settings.
Do restrictions apply to all users?
Yes. When Company-Wide Builder Restrictions are enabled for your company account, the restrictions apply to all users who do not have the Bypass Editor Restrictions role permission.
