What identifies which content users can see in search results?

The identification of which content users can see in search results is primarily determined by profiles and permission sets. In the context of Experience Cloud, profiles define the user’s access level and the data they can view, while permission sets can further refine access to specific features or records. This means that the combination of profiles and permission sets dictates what content is visible to users, ensuring that users only see the information relevant to their roles and responsibilities.

User activity reports and site engagement metrics, while valuable for analyzing how users interact with content, do not directly influence what content appears in search results. These reports provide insights and statistics on user behavior but do not alter permissions or visibility. Admin configurations may set up the overall structure and security of the site, but it’s the profiles and permission sets that ultimately govern user access to individual pieces of content.
