Lesson 2 – Assigning Permissions and Access Rights

NOTE

When you create a site, the site name is appended onto the front of the default group names. For example, the Site Development Team would have the groups Development Team Visitors, Development Team Members, and Development Team Owners.

S HARE P OINT P ERMISSION L EVELS Permission levels are a collection of rights that are granted to users or groups that provide access to and allow you to perform actions on a SharePoint site. Administrators may assign default permissions levels to users and groups or may choose to customize permissions. The following table lists the default permissions in SharePoint 2013. Depending on the site template used to create the SharePoint site (i.e. Team site or Publishing site), some permission levels may not be available.
