About security
Publish templates and publication documents have their own security.

The security that you specify when you add or modify a publish template is the security assigned to the publish template.
Publication document security
Publication document security defines who can:
- View the publication document
- Modify the properties of the publication document

The security that you specify on the Security to Apply tab is the security assigned to publication documents created using the publish template.
Publishing security
Publishing a document requires access to the following objects, each of which has its own security:
- Source document
- Publish template
- Destination object store
- Destination folder
- Style template (if a transformation is specified)
In addition, the user must have Publish rights to the source document.
Style template not specified
When the publish template does not specify a style template, the user who publishes the document becomes the owner of the publication document.
Style template specified
