What permissions do my users have in SharePoint?

When a user is created in SharePoint, it must be assigned permissions. The user created during the setup process has Full Control.

The following are the 4 levels of permissions:

• Full Control - the user has full control over lists, documents, libraries, etc within the SharePoint site
• Design - the user can view, add, update, delete, approve and customize lists, documents, libraries, etc within the SharePoint site
• Contribute - the user can view, add, update and delete lists, documents, libraries, etc within the SharePoint site
• Read - the user can only view lists, documents, libraries, etc within the SharePoint site
