EntitlementGroup
RIXML 2.5 Element
Acts as a structural container for organizing access control specifications that govern research distribution. Groups related entitlement conditions that apply conjunctively to determine content accessibility.
A composite restriction on the use of the product. Each individual entitlement specification inside a single EntitlementGroup applies conjuctively with the others in the group -- i.e. they are AND-ed together. For example, you could limit readership to American press agencies by including a LocationEntitlement (containing a Country element with the U.S. country code) and an AudienceTypeEntitlement (containing the Media audience type code). Each EntitlementGroup applies disjunctively with the other EntitlementGroups -- i.e. they are OR-ed together.
Usage
Include zero to multiple EntitlementGroup elements within ProductDetails when research requires access restrictions. Each group must contain at least one child Entitlement element defining specific access conditions.
Business Context
Supports compliance and business model requirements by enabling fine-grained control over research distribution based on client characteristics, geographic location, and temporal constraints.
