+h3(#frozen). Frozen projects
+
+A user with @manage@ permission can set the @frozen_by_uuid@ attribute of a @project@ group to their own user UUID. Once this is done, no further changes can be made to the project or its contents, including subprojects.
+
+The @frozen_by_uuid@ attribute can be cleared by an admin user. It can also be cleared by a user with @manage@ permission, unless the @API.UnfreezeProjectRequiresAdmin@ configuration setting is active.
+
+The optional @API.FreezeProjectRequiresDescription@ and @API.FreezeProjectRequiresProperties@ configuration settings can be used to prevent users from freezing projects that have empty @description@ and/or specified @properties@ entries.
+
+h3. Filter groups
+
+@filter@ groups are virtual groups; they can not own other objects. Filter groups have a special @properties@ field named @filters@, which must be an array of filter conditions. See "list method filters":{{site.baseurl}}/api/methods.html#filters for details on the syntax of valid filters, but keep in mind that the attributes must include the object type (@collections@, @container_requests@, @groups@, @workflows@), separated with a dot from the field to be filtered on.
+
+Filters are applied with an implied *and* between them, but each filter only applies to the object type specified. The results are subject to the usual access controls - they are a subset of all objects the user can see. Here is an example:
+
+<pre>
+ "properties":{
+ "filters":[
+ [
+ "groups.name",
+ "like",
+ "Public%"
+ ]
+ ]
+ },
+</pre>
+
+This @filter@ group will return all groups (projects) that have a name starting with the word @Public@ and are visible to the user issuing the query. Because groups can contain many types of object, it will also return all objects of other types that the user can see.
+
+The 'is_a' filter operator is of particular interest to limit the @filter@ group 'content' to the desired object(s). When the 'is_a' operator is used, the attribute must be 'uuid'. The operand may be a string or an array which means objects of either type will match the filter. This example will return all groups (projects) that have a name starting with the word @Public@, as well as all collections that are in the project with uuid @zzzzz-j7d0g-0123456789abcde@.
+
+<pre>
+ "properties":{
+ "filters":[
+ [
+ "groups.name",
+ "like",
+ "Public%"
+ ],
+ [
+ "collections.owner_uuid",
+ "=",
+ "zzzzz-j7d0g-0123456789abcde"
+ ],
+ [
+ "uuid",
+ "is_a",
+ [
+ "arvados#group",
+ "arvados#collection"
+ ]
+ ]
+ ]
+ },
+ </pre>
