# Team Jurisdictions

> Automatically enforce where each ER:LC team is allowed to operate using configurable boundaries, warnings, and jurisdiction‑based actions.

***

## What are Team Jurisdictions?

Team Jurisdictions allow you to define where each ER:LC team is permitted to operate.\
If a player leaves their assigned jurisdiction for too long, the system will automatically warn them  and if needed, take action such as respawning the player.

## How to use Team Jurisdictions

<Card>
  You can configure **Team Jurisdictions** from your\
  **ER:LC Integration → API** page, located beneath **Safe Zone Enforcement**.
</Card>

### Configuration Options

<Steps>
  <Step title="Assign Jurisdictions to Teams">

    Leave a team blank if you do not want it to be restricted.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Open Jurisdiction Editor">
    Click this button to view or modify the boundaries of each jurisdiction.\
    You can use preset jurisdictions or create custom ones.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Minutes Allowed Outside of Jurisdiction">
    Set how long a player may remain outside their jurisdiction before receiving a warning.\
    For example, **5 minutes** gives players time to return without immediate actions.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Number of PM Warnings Before Action">
    Choose how many PM warnings a player receives before enforcement occurs.\
    Each warning is sent one minute apart.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Jurisdiction Enforcement Action">
    Select what happens when a player exceeds both the time limit and warning limit.\
    Such as **Respawn the User**, **Make the User wanted** and **Kick the User**.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Exclude Moderators">
    Enable this to prevent moderators and higher staff from being affected by jurisdiction enforcement.
  </Step>
</Steps>
