Setting Element's Discoverability

The Discoverability feature grans Admins an ability to allow Users to see those tiles on the Homepage that they do not have Permission to view. Users then can submit an Access Request and Admins and privileged Power Users can grant them access via the Access Request screen.  

The system will default to standard "Access Denied" message if no customization has been set up. See Adding Document Links on Access Denied Message article for more information.
