This guide shows how to set and automate access restrictions for students with unpaid fees.\ The automation works only if your school is managing your bursary - billing/invoicing and fees payment records using the portal.

Click the "FINANCE" menu-group

Click the "Fees / Bursary" menu

Click the "Payment Settings" sub-menu

On the payment settings page, click to switch to the "Debtors Access Rules" tab. From the "Debtors Access Rules" tab, you can configure and automate how fees debtors should be restricted from certain aspects of the portal like: results, e-class/LMS, or all portal modules.

To automatically restrict debtors from accessing their results, click to **turn-on** the "**Results access restriction**" switch button

Set the percentage of payment which when already paid should then allow the students to access their results.\ \ For example, to allow students who have paid up to 70% of their fees to be allowed to access their results, set the percentage to "**70**".\ \ Set the percentage to "**100**" if students must pay up all their mandatory fees completely before being allowed to access their results.
