Access Rights are individual rules that together form an Access Profile. Through these rules, you are given or denied access to certain features of Studio for InDesign and InDesign itself.
Example: You may be allowed to restore a version of a layout, be denied the rights to create Dossiers, and so on.
Access Profiles are managed in Studio Server.
The sections below provide an overview of the features that can be controlled for Studio for InDesign.

Note: The Listed in Search Results and Read access rights can be confusing at first. Normally you have Listed in Search Results and Read access rights if you are allowed to open a file for reading.
