# How do I restrict access to my team in Self-Service?

<html><head></head><body><p data-block-id="mpvgkxc7-7zdp9k-254">Once you have set up your team in <strong>Self-Service</strong>, you can choose whom to share your calendar with by restricting access to all but certain colleagues. If you don't set up a team restriction, then everyone in the organisation can add you to their team and see your <strong>Holidays</strong> and <strong>Absences </strong>in their <strong>Holiday</strong> and <strong>Absence</strong> team calendars. And anyone else in the organisation can add you to their team calendar. Restricting your team could be useful if you are in management and want only your team to see your calendar.</p><h2 data-block-id="mpvgkx9u-80mka7-231" id="to-restrict-access">To restrict access </h2><ol data-block-id="mpvgkx9u-xte447-232" start="1" style="--start:0;"><li data-block-id="mpvgkx9u-vb59rx-233"><p data-block-id="mpvgldcn-xu1200-264">Log into <strong>Self-Service</strong>.</p></li><li data-block-id="mpvgkx9u-yyem38-234"><p data-block-id="mpvgldcn-t44s3g-265">Navigate to the <strong>Settings - Team Restrictions</strong> page.Go to Self-Service &gt; Menu &gt; Settings &gt; Team Restrictions</p><blockquote data-block-id="mpvgkx9v-ix0b0r-243" class="infoBox" data-background="#ddf7ff" data-border="#006a8a" style="background:rgb(221, 247, 255);border-left:4px solid rgb(0, 106, 138);overflow:auto;"><p data-block-id="mpvgkx9v-x1ffxz-244"><strong>Note: </strong> When you first click Team Restrictions on the menu, a message appears stating: You have no restrictions defined; Everyone can include you in their team.
