Where are access rights stored in Sitecore?

Access rights in Sitecore are associated with items and are primarily stored in the Standard fields of those items. Sitecore utilizes an access rights model where permissions such as read, write, and delete are tied to specific items within the content tree. The Standard fields include a field for defining security rights at the item level, which allows for fine-grained control of who can view or modify the content.

When users or roles are granted specific rights, those rights are reflected in the Standard fields, which are part of the item template. This means that the permissions directly embedded on the items dictate what actions can be performed by different users or groups throughout the Sitecore environment.

Other choices involve aspects of Sitecore's security framework but do not specifically address where access rights are directly stored at the item level. The User Profile pertains to attributes of users, the Access Rights Manager is a tool for managing permissions but does not store rights, and the Database settings relate to configuration rather than the direct storage of access rights. Thus, understanding that access rights are embedded in the item templates via the Standard fields is critical for managing security effectively within Sitecore.
