# Customize the user message for setting restrictions

This article describes how to customize the user message displayed when an app’s password, member, or account restrictions are applied.

{% hint style="info" %}
**Who can use this feature?**

* Workspace **Owners**, **Super Admins**, and **Admins**
* Only supported using the Cerby web app
* Workspace users must have the Cerby browser extension installed and logged in
  {% endhint %}

As a workspace **Owner**, **Super Admin**, or **Admin**, you can customize the message Cerby displays to users when they attempt to change password or members settings or delete an account for an app with existing [setting restrictions](https://help.cerby.com/setup-and-admin/workspace-settings/extension-settings/app-setting-restrictions/explore-app-setting-restrictions).

To customize the user message for settings restrictions, you must complete the following steps:

1. Log in to your [Cerby](https://app.cerby.com/) workspace using the Cerby web app.
2. Select the **Settings** option from the left navigation drawer. The **Workspace Configuration** page is displayed with the **General** tab activated.
3. Activate the **Extension settings** tab.
4. Activate the left **App settings restrictions** tab.
5. Click the **Edit message** button. The **Edit restriction messages** page is displayed.
6. Select the setting you want to customize from the left menu.
7. Activate the **Fully blocked** or **Prompt members to Cerby** tab, depending on the message you want to customize. The message to show to the user is displayed below.
8. Customize the message in the **Title** or **Content** fields.
9. Repeat steps 6 to 8 as necessary.
10. Click the **Save changes** button. A success message box is displayed.

Now you are done. Your new message will be displayed the next time a user accesses the corresponding app setting.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://help.cerby.com/setup-and-admin/workspace-settings/extension-settings/app-setting-restrictions/customize-the-user-message-for-setting-restrictions.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
