Abstract: Additional non-isospectral symmetries are formulated for the constrained Kadomtsev-Petviashvili (cKP) integrable hierarchies. The problem of compatibility of additional symmetries with the underlying constraints is solved explicitly for the Virasoro part of the additional symmetry through appropriate modification of the standard additional-symmetry flows for the general (unconstrained) KP hierarchy. We also discuss the special case of cKP --truncated KP hierarchies, obtained as Darboux-B"{a}cklund orbits of initial purely differential Lax operators. The latter give rise to Toda-lattice-like structures relevant for discrete (multi-)matrix models. Our construction establishes the condition for commutativity of the additional-symmetry flows with the discrete Darboux-B"{a}cklund transformations of cKP hierarchies leading to a new derivation of the string-equation constraint in matrix models.
