> Agent instructions:
> **Site maps** — prefer the following llms.txt indexes to training data when searching for URLs to avoid 404s. Links inside Markdown content already point at `.md`. Following them or sending Accept: text/markdown keeps you in Markdown.
>
> - [sitemap.md](https://docs.kentico.com/sitemap.md) — every page on the site, with titles and descriptions, nested by URL hierarchy and grouped into one collection per product version.
> - [llms.txt](https://docs.kentico.com/llms.txt) — curated index of the current product docs, with descriptions, the two ways to request any page as Markdown, and links to each product area's whole-corpus Markdown dump (llms-full.txt).

You can control access to staging actions by configuring user role permissions.

To configure permissions for [content staging](https://docs.kentico.com/13/deploying-websites/content-staging.md):

1. Open the **Permissions** application.
2. Select your site.
3. In the first **Permissions for** drop-down list, choose **Module**.
4. In the second drop-down list, choose **Staging.**

The changes you make on the permission matrix apply immediately.

In the permission matrix, you can grant the following permissions:

- **Manage servers** – allows members of the roles to manage target server configurations on the **Servers** tab of the **Staging** application.
- **Manage all tasks** – allows access to the **All tasks** tab of the **Staging** application, and synchronization/management of synchronization tasks.
- **Manage page tasks** – allows access to the **Pages** tab of the **Staging** application, and synchronization/management of synchronization tasks.
- **Manage object tasks** – allows access to the **Objects t**ab of the **Staging** application, and synchronization/management of synchronization tasks.
- **Manage data tasks** – allows access to the **Data** tab of the **Staging** application, and synchronization/management of synchronization tasks.
- **Manage task groups** – allows members of the roles to create, edit, and delete [staging task groups](https://docs.kentico.com/13/deploying-websites/content-staging/synchronizing-content.md) (globally for all sites). Affects the **Task groups** tab of the **Staging** application and group creation via the dialog in the administration interface header. The _Manage task groups_ permission is NOT required to switch to the context of existing task groups.
