Search access rights

For security purposes, a search is like any other versionable document except that the Publish access right is hidden except in Administration Console for Content Platform Engine, which prevents users and authors from publishing searches. See the Search Designer Help for information on creating searches.

Acquisition and inheritance

The user who creates a search specifies its security. Unless the user makes a change, the search acquires the security of the Stored Search class along with any security policy that might be assigned. Subsequent updates to the Stored Search class have no effect on existing searches.

A stored search can optionally inherit from a folder security parent and from a security policy.
