Appendix A. SharePoint 2013 User Permissions and Permission Levels
Microsoft SharePoint 2013 includes 33 user permissions that determine the specific actions that users can perform on a SharePoint site. Permissions are grouped into permission levels. In essence, each permission level is a named collection of permissions that can be assigned to SharePoint users and groups.
There are a number of default permission levels available on a SharePoint 2013 site. For example, seven default permission levels are available on every team site: View Only, Read, Contribute, Edit, Design, Full Control, and Limited Access. When your site is based on a site template other than the Team site template, you will see additional default SharePoint permission levels available on your site. For example, three default permission levels are available on every publishing site: Restricted Read, Approve, and Manage Hierarchy. Every community site provides a Moderate permission level.
Table A-1 lists and describes the default permission levels, along with their corresponding permissions, in SharePoint 2013.
In addition to using the default permission levels provided by SharePoint Server, you can create new permission levels that contain specific permissions, as well as change which permissions are included in the default permission levels, with a few exceptions. Although it is not possible to remove permissions from the Limited Access and Full Control permission levels, your SharePoint administrator can make specific permission levels unavailable for the entire web application by using SharePoint Central Administration. If you are a SharePoint administrator and want to do this, do the following: in SharePoint Central Administration, from the Application Management page, select Manage Web Applications, choose your web application, click the Permission Policy button on the ribbon, and then delete the permissions levels that you would like to disable.
Depending on the scope, user permissions in SharePoint 2013 can be grouped into three categories: list permissions, site permissions, and personal user permissions. Table A-2 lists and describes user permissions in SharePoint 2013, in alphabetical order, and includes scope, permission dependencies, and the permission levels that are included by default.
