Conditional UI can be used to apply various UI related conditions.

3- Go to the Application Designer and create a Signature Option using "Add/Modify Signature Option" for your app.
4- Assign this newly created Signature Option to the field "Signature Option" propeties by going to Right Click > Properties.
5- Click the " Configure Conditional Properties" button and then select the "Security Group" to which this rule should apply. (Use the condition we created above in "Conditions for Security Group")
6- In property values section for the true condition result, select “inputmode” as the property and "required" as the value.
7- Select OK then go to "Security Groups" app and provide access to the signature option that you created above to the appropriate security group.
