component access attribute

The “access" attribute of the <component> element specifies the accessibility of the component, and is limited to values PATH and PUBLIC. It defaults to PUBLIC.

If access is PATH, then the component may only be referenced by other components in the same path as this component. It may not be direct installed by the client and may only be included using a nested reference in other components. If access is PUBLIC, no such restrictions apply.
