SharePoint Permission Levels
The first step to managing permissions in SharePoint is to understand what actions the various permission levels authorize a person to perform. As a DesignerPlus, you will be granting the Read, Contribute and Design permission levels to people using your SharePoint site – the rest of the permission levels are described for your information only.
SharePoint Permission Level - Description
- Read - Read-only access to the site. Users with this permission level can view items, web pages and documents, but they cannot delete content or make any changes.
- Contribute - Read-Write access to the site. Users with this permission level can view, upload, delete and make changes to items, web pages and documents.
- Design - Designers can do everything that Contributors can do, plus they have the ability to create lists, libraries, views and metadata columns.
- DesignerPlus - A DesignerPlus can do everything a Designer can do, plus they have the ability to manage and customize permissions to control content access.
- Full Control - DO NOT GRANT Full Control permissions. This permission level is only used by departmental SharePoint site administration and support.
- Limited Access - You can effectively IGNORE Limited Access permissions. Limited Access simply indicates that the person or group has a different level of access assigned somewhere else in the site using customized permissions (see Section 4).
- View Web Analytics Data - This permission level grants people the ability to see the Site Collection Web Analytics Reports found in the ‘Site Settings’ menu. It does not grant access to specific content such as items, web pages or documents.
