# Permission set
A {doctitle} contains a list of allowed and denied [permissions](https://docs.coveo.com/en/223/) that can apply to an individual [item](https://docs.coveo.com/en/210/).

A permission set can also allow anonymous (that is, unauthenticated) [users](https://docs.coveo.com/en/250/) to access the item it applies to.
