"Access portal content".
It's usually managed by workflow, not directly through the ZMI.

Example:
Go into portal_workflow, click the Contents tab, go into your
default workflow, click the States tab, click Published,
and select the permissions you want objects to have when they
are published.
Save changes, go back to portal_workflow, and click
Update security settings. Voila, all your published content
now has the settings you selected for that state.
