I am programmatically defining the address space by creating an XML file. The XML file expects a numeric value for AccessRights whereas the CSV definition used text (READ\_WRITE, etc).  
Where can I find info on defining AccessRights in 7.6?

Documentation is coming, in the meantime:

Read\_Only = 0  
Read\_Write = 1  
Custom = 2

Just a side note: There was an issue importing custom permissions in xml in 7.6.0, it’s been fixed for 7.6.1.
