Abstract
A method for execution by storage network begins by identifying a subset of encoded data slices stored in a set of storage units for enhanced access and interpreting registry data to determine a listing type. The method continues by generating listing slice names for the subset of encoded data slices based on the listing type and sending the listing slice names to the set of storage units, where each storage unit updating storage and/or listing of at least some of the subset of encoded data slices associated with the storage unit based on the listing type and each storage unit issuing slice access information to a requesting entity in response to one or more slice access requests in accordance with the listing type for some of the subset of encoded data slices and the requesting entity receiving slice access information from at least some of the set of storage units.
