# Assign user criteria for Can Read access to a site

Assign the user criteria to a site to define which users can read or view the equipment model entities that belong to the selected site.

## Before you begin

Role required: cmdb\_ot\_isa\_admin or admin

## About this task

You can assign the user criteria for Can Read access in two locations:

-   From the Equipment Model Entity View Access table
-   From the Can Read Equipment Models related list in a site record

## Procedure

1.  Navigate to either the table or related list.

    |Location|Navigation path|
    |--------|---------------|
    |**Equipment Model Entity View Access Table**|**All** > **Equipment Model - ISA** > **User Criteria - Can Read**|
    |**Can Read Equipment Models related list**|**All** > **Equipment Model - ISA** > **Sites** and open a site record. Select the Can Read Equipment Models related list.|

    **Note:** User criteria configurations aren't available with the ISA Equipment Model version 4.2.0.
