Sitecore Standard Template Fields - Part-5

Sitecore Standard Template: Publishing Section

The Publishing section of the standard template contains fields for managing publishing restrictions at the item level. Sitecore manages version-level publishing restrictions in fields within the Lifetime section of the standard template.

• Publish (Sitecore.FieldIDs.PublishDate): Date after which publishing operations can publish the item to publishing targets.
• Unpublish (Sitecore.FieldIDs.UnpublishDate): Date after which publishing operations will remove the item from publishing targets.
• Publishing groups (Sitecore.FieldIDs.PublishingTargets): Publishing targets associated with the item. Publishing Groups is a legacy term for functionality similar to publishing targets.
• Never publish (Sitecore.FieldIDs.NeverPublish): Prevents publishing operations from publishing the item to publishing targets.

Sitecore Standard Template: Security Section

The Security section of the Sitecore standard template contains the following fields:

• Owner (Sitecore.FieldIDs.Owner): Identifies the CMS user that owns the item. From what I can tell, the owner is typically the user who created the item or its latest version in a language, although it is possible to change ownership of an item explicitly through the UI (or by changing the value in this field). Note that the owner does not necessarily own the current lock (the __Lock field in the Workflow section specifies the current lock owner if any).
• Security (Sitecore.FieldIDs.Security): Defines access rights for the item. One key thing to remember here is that when you change access rights for an item, you must publish those changes to any relevant publishing target database(s).
