Access privileges can be set per metadata record. You can define privileges on a per Group basis.
## Access Privileges

Privileges that can be set relate to visibility of the Metadata (*Publish*), data *Download*, *Interactive Map* access and display of the record in the *Featured* section of the home page.
Access privileges can be set on a per-metadata-record basis. Privileges define which actions are available to users in the group:

*Editing* defines the groups for which editors can edit the metadata record.
- **Publish**: Controls visibility of the metadata.
- **Download**: Grants access to data downloads.
- **Interactive Map**: Provides access to map tools.
- **Featured**: Displays the record in the *Featured* section on the home page.

*Notify* defines what Groups are notified when a file managed by GeoNetwork is downloaded.
Additional settings:
- **Editing**: Specifies which groups can edit the metadata record.
- **Notify**: Determines which groups are notified when a file managed by GeoNetwork is downloaded.

Below is an example of the privileges management table related to a dataset.
## Minimum User Profile Allowed to Set Privileges

This setting allows administrators to control the minimum user profile required to assign privileges for a group. It provides enhanced control over who can manage sensitive privileges for users within the group.

### Default Setting

By default, the **"Minimum User Profile Allowed to Set Privileges"** is set to **No Restrictions**. This means that any user with permission to manage privileges for a metadata record can assign privileges for users in this group.

### Restricted Setting

When a specific profile is selected, only users with that profile or higher within the group can assign privileges. Users with lower profiles will have **read-only** access to privilege settings for this group.

### Example Usage

If a group has **"Minimum User Profile Allowed to Set Privileges"** set to **Reviewer**:
- Only users with the **Reviewer** profile or higher (e.g., **Administrator**) can assign privileges for users in this group.
- Users with profiles below **Reviewer** (e.g., **Editor**) will see the group as **read-only** in the privileges interface.
