Process HQ Group Membership Rules

Question

Hi Team, 
 I want to remove Process HQ site option on navigation menu, to my application users. But I see that this Process HQ group is used by all the applications in an env. So what if i want to remove access to users specific to an application? 
 In the membership rule i couldn't restrict the users based on the group they belong. Do we have any alternative to make this work?

 Can you tell me where you're seeing that? 
 Have you tried editing the Process HQ Group and removing the "all users" rule? I expect this would cause it to then be shown only to the users in groups you specify (though maybe it's also shown to admin accounts regardless of what you do, i haven't tested this yet).

 I believe you might have this backwards. 
 The Process HQ Group automatically contains a membership rule that adds "all users" as members. That means all users (regardless of what group they're in) will see it initially as a menu option. If you go and remove the "add all users" rule, then nobody (other than possibly admin accounts) should see it anymore. This wouldn't affect other "applications" at all.

 This change has nothing directly to do with any other applications in your environment. It only affects who (as in users) will see the "process HQ" option in their menu - regardless of what application/site/etc they happen to be looking at. As I mentioned before, this doesn't seem to apply to users who are "administrator" type, so test it with a test user set as a "basic user".
