Do you know which account type to use in SharePoint WSS 3.0?
There are three such default SharePoint groups: Team Site Members, Team Site Owners, and Team Site Visitors. If you click on People and Groups and then click on More you will see the following figure
SharePoint User Groups
These groups have different level of permissions
• Contribute which allows you to add, update, and delete (and read)
• Full Control which allows you to do almost anything
• Read which allows you to have read-only access
Tip: Use groups to give access to the users instead of individuals as this will avoid extra hassles later on.
