# User-specific Permissions

The User and Team properties are useful for the scopes feature: they allow you to group users (not teams) and control the data they can see.

### User & Team Properties

To create a property for a Team or User, you need to go into the settings for the specific Team or User in your application. Follow the steps:

1. Click on the **Profile**
2. Go to the `Users and Teams` tab
3. Go to the `Users Tab`
4. **Select the User** you want to edit
5. Fill in **the Department Section** for that user

To add a property for the user, let's do a simple example of adding Status to the users. To build the example, follow the steps:

1. Click on the `Add Property` icon
2. Choose the **Data Type** of the Property
3. Choose `Select`
4. Rename the property to **Status**
5. **Add** values for the Labels: **Active and Not Active**
6. Click on the `Create` button

Note that it is important to create User & Team Properties with the same key value so that you can refer to this property via formulas for all properties at once.

### Hiding components based on User/Team Properties

Now let's look at an example of hiding a component depending on User & Team Properties and implement the condition of hiding a component if User Property has a read-only value.
