About SharePoint permissions
Information Governance enables you to view SharePoint permissions that are granted to users and user groups on paths.
SharePoint users and user groups are not assigned the permissions directly. They are assigned permission levels. A permission level (role) is a set of specific permissions that is assigned to specific users or user groups. It helps in controlling which permissions are granted to the users and user groups.
In SharePoint, permissions are a part of a high level role and each role is a combination of permissions. Users and user groups are assigned roles rather than individual permissions. A site owner assigns these roles to different users and user groups. For example, the Read role assigned to a user or user group may be a combination of any of the following permissions in addition to the Limited Access permissions:
View Items
Open Items
View Versions
Create Alerts
Use Self-Service Site Creation (when enabled at web application)
Browse User Information
View Application Pages
User Remote Interfaces
Use Client Integration
Features View pages
You can view the roles assigned to users and user groups on the Information Governance Management Console. A site owner is responsible for assigning these roles to different users and user groups. You cannot edit a role to include or exclude any permission from the Information Governance Console.
SharePoint has the following five default roles:
Full Control
Design
Contribute
Read
Limited access
