level	The level to which the barriers will be applied.	String
in_barrier_features	Line or polygon features used as a barrier.	Feature Layer
barrier_type (Optional)	Specifies the type of barrier. IMPEDANCE — Limits the growth of territories. This is the default. RESTRICTED_AREA —Prevents the creation of territories.	String
append_data (Optional)	Specifies whether to append or replace the records to the barriers layer. APPEND —Appends records to an existing barrier layer. REPLACE —Creates a new barrier layer or replaces records in an existing barrier layer. This is the default.	Boolean
