User roles and privileges

SharePoint has three default user roles

There are three default user roles in SharePoint. Owners are administrators with full access to modify the site and its contents. Members can add and edit content but are unable to change site settings. Visitors have read-only access.

For more granular permissions, Admins can create Groups with specific permissions, or create and assign Roles to users. Roles and Groups can have a unique set of privileges and permissions to ensure assigned users have the proper level of access and control.
