# Security-based Conditionality

In cards, it may be desired to change the state of components for users with particular access groups. All formula-driven properties can be edited to change state depending on access level.

The most common property to adjust in  a component depending on user access would be the **Visible** property. This property determines whether something is shown or hidden, and is a quick way to hide something from a particular group or vice versa.

### Hiding / Showing a Component

In the **Visible** property of any desired component, open the formula editor by clicking the Pi icon. In this example, we are only showing a link to a Planning module if the user has an access group that indicates they should be able to see the link to the Planning module, or if they are an admin.

```vb
IF(
    OR(
        USERHASGROUP("admin", VARIABLE("user-id"))
    ,
        USERHASGROUP("Planning", VARIABLE("user-id"))
    )
,
    "Yes"
,
    "No"
)
```
