SharePoint Roles:
I am sharing this very simple Topic, because many of the
Administrators want to know the difference and the responsibilities.
Owner: Owner has a complete control over site, list,
library and other content placed on site.
Designer: Users having designer role
limited to certain activities. User can view, add, update, delete and approve
content. Users can even customize the things, they have access to.
Editor: Editor role users are not
allowed to customize site design or content. Users can add, edit, update and
delete content from the site.
Contributor: Very limited role. They can
delete content items which they have created but not by other.
Reader: Users are only allowed to
view the content of site. Users are assigned to Reader roles can download and
edit the content but cannot save it back on SharePoint site.
