SharePoint 2007 Permission Levels

A SharePoint Permission Levels are group of permissions that can be granted to users or SharePoint groups so that they can perform specific actions on securable objects such as a site, library, list, folder, item, or document on your site. Permission levels allow you to group permissions and apply them to users and SharePoint groups on various sites in your SharePoint.

When you create a SharePoint site, there are five permission levels provided by default:

  • Full Control: allows users or groups full control over a site. Full Control is the least restrictive permission level. You can not modify or remove this permission level.

  • Design: allows users or groups to view, add, update, delete, approve, and customize lists, libraries, and pages on your site, including themes and style sheets.

  • Contribute: allows users or groups to view, add, update, and delete previously created list items and document libraries.

  • Read: allows users or groups to read pages on the site including the resource libraries. Read is the most restrictive permission level.

  • Limited Access: is a permission level that is automatically assigned to a user or group and therefore cannot be directly assigned by the administrator. It is used when you assign the users or groups to a child object of a parent object to which they do not have access. You can not modify or remove this permission level.
