Permission Levels and Permissions

Although sites that are built on Windows SharePoint Services often have additional default SharePoint groups, Microsoft Windows SharePoint Services 3.0 includes five permission levels by default. Each of these permission levels has specific permissions associated with it. As a site owner, one can choose which permissions are associated with these permission levels (except for the Limited Access and Full Control permission levels) or add new permission levels to combine different sets of permissions. This paper gives tables which lists and describes the permission levels that one can assign to users and SharePoint groups and the permissions one can assign to permission levels.
