> 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).

Permissions for access to Xperience pages can be configured at three levels of a three-level permissions hierarchy. Click the links in the **Page permission level** column to learn more about each of them.

| Page permission level                                                                                                                                           | Granted to                | Applied to                                | Configurable in                             |

| [Permissions for all content](https://docs.kentico.com/13/managing-users/configuring-permissions/configuring-page-permissions/permissions-for-all-content.md)   | roles                     | all pages                                 | Permissions application                     |
| [Permissions for page types](https://docs.kentico.com/13/managing-users/configuring-permissions/configuring-page-permissions/permissions-for-page-types.md)     | roles                     | all pages of one particular page type     | Permissions application                     |
| [Page-level permissions (ACLs)](https://docs.kentico.com/13/managing-users/configuring-permissions/configuring-page-permissions/page-level-permissions-acls.md) | roles or individual users | individual pages or content tree sections | Pages application -> Properties -> Security |

Permissions from these three levels are merged together when checking if a user is permitted to perform an action with a page. For example, to read a _CMS.News_ page, a user must have the _Read_ permission on at least one of the three levels: either on the pages-level, or for the _CMS.News_ page type, or for all content.
