On MSDN it mentioned the following about the Edit, Contribute & Read permission levels:-
Edit | Add, edit, and delete lists; view, add, update, and delete list items and documents. |
Contribute | View, add, update, and delete list items and documents. |
Read | Add, edit, and delete items in existing lists and document libraries. By default, this permission level is assigned to the Members group. |
It seems that “Edit” permission level provides the ability to manage Lists , while the “Contribute” and “Read” enable users to only manage items in existing lists. But I cannot figure out what are the differences between Contribute & Read in this case, as for me they seem to be similar ?
Can anyone advice?
