# Component Access Control

The `access` attribute on the `aura:component` tag controls whether the component can be used outside of the component’s namespace.

Possible values are listed below.

|Modifier|Description|
|--------|-----------|
|`public`|Available within your org only. This is the default access value.|
|`global`|Available in all orgs.|

**note:** Components aren’t directly addressable via a URL. To check your component output, embed your component in a `.app` resource.
