Core Modules Documentation

Users who are granted the Manage Security permission can apply a granular set of permissions on nodes or items that allow individual users or a group of users access to specific actions.

By default, a new node or item does not contain any security policies which limit access to only administrators. When security policies are added on either a node or item, then the rights for a user are evaluated by explicit access along with access of groups a user is in, otherwise known as effective permissions.

Below is a listing of permissions that can be applied to create a security policy.
