Abstract
The constrained Hamiltonian formalism is worked out for the theories where the gauge symmetry parameters are unfree, being restricted by differential equations. The Hamiltonian BFV-BRST embedding is elaborated for this class of gauge theories. The general formalism is exemplified by the linearized unimodular gravity.
