Why and When to Restrict Pages
Restrictions can be a very helpful tool, letting you designate who has access to your content. Restrictions can limit your page to be edited and/or viewed by a specific set of people, in addition to the page permissions. However, if you go too in depth with permissions, the content may not be accessible to everyone that should have access.
When it comes to edit permissions on a page, it is recommended to be fairly specific with your groups and users on who you'd like to edit and moderate your content. The more specific you are, the more control you have over the content that gets modified, as well as knowledge of who does the modifying. Too little restrictions in this area could allow for a multitude of unknown sources contributing to your content, which can be tricky to moderate.
For view permissions, it is a lot more loose than edit permissions. Your content is made to be shared and dispersed amongst a multitude of users. Restricting too much can prevent your audience as a whole from accessing your content. It is best practice to analyze the overall picture of who your audience for that particular piece of content is, then open it up to the broadest group or set of users you feel comfortable allowing.
