> 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).

The User contributions web parts use the following properties to configure their security options:

- **Check permissions** - if you choose this option, appropriate permissions to read/modify/create/delete documents using the User contributions web parts need to be granted to the users. See [Configuring permissions](https://docs.kentico.com/k8/managing-users/configuring-permissions.md) for more details on document permissions.
- **Insert requires doc.type permission** - indicates if document type permissions are required to create a new document.
- **Allow insert/edit/delete** - indicates if the respective buttons should be displayed.
- **Allow editing by users** - you can choose between:

  - **All** - any user who comes to the page with the web part can use it to edit documents
  - **Authenticated** - any authenticated user (site member) can edit the documents; you can use this value in combination with the _NodeOwner = {%CurrentUser.UserID%}_ value in the _WHERE condition_ property for the web part to display only documents created by the current user (and therefore allow editing of these documents only to them)
  - **Document owners** - only owner of the parent document under which the user contribution documents are stored can edit them
