# Item

An {doctitle} is a [source](https://docs.coveo.com/en/246/) element, such as a document, PDF, HTML page, object, or database record, that can be returned as a single [query](https://docs.coveo.com/en/231/) result.

Items in a source [that indexes permissions](https://docs.coveo.com/en/1779#same-users-and-groups-as-in-your-content-system) each have a [permission model](https://docs.coveo.com/en/225/), whereas items that are available to [everyone](https://docs.coveo.com/en/1779#everyone) or to [some specific users and groups](https://docs.coveo.com/en/1779#specific-users-and-groups) only don't.
