> **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).

By modifying permissions, you can control which users and roles can read, create, modify and delete custom table data. You can configure the permissions of custom tables on two levels — globally for all custom tables belonging to the current site and separately for each particular custom table.Note that this example uses the sample **Corporate site** and the roles that are on the site by default. Learn more about roles in [Role management](https://docs.kentico.com/k8/managing-users/role-management.md).

## Configuring permissions for all custom tables assigned to a certain site

1. Open the **Permissions** application.
2. In the **Site** drop-down list, select **Corporate site**.
3. In the first **Permissions for** drop-down list choose **Module**, and **Custom tables** in the second.
4. Grant the **Read** permission to the **CMS Basic users** role.

You have assigned the **CMS Basic users** role the permission to _read_ custom table data on the **Corporate site.**

## Configuring permissions for specific custom tables

1. Open the **Permissions** application.
2. In the **Site** drop-down list, select **Corporate site**.
3. In the first **Permissions for** drop-down list choose **Custom table**, and the specific custom table in the second.
4. Grant the **Read** permission to the **CMS Community administrators** role.

You have assigned the **CMS Community administrators** role the permission to _read_ custom table data on the **Corporate site.**
