http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc721640(v=office.14).aspx
40. Using SharePoint Groups For Permissions
The default groups are:
• Full Control (Site Owners)
• Contribute (Site Members)
• Read (Site Visitors)
• View Only (Viewers)
41. Why Groups Instead Of Individual People?
• Technically, you can add individual people to a permission list
• Using SharePoint groups makes it easier to administer
permission changes.
42. Adding People To A SharePoint Group
Select the group to change and click New > Add Users:
43. Inheriting and Breaking Permissions
• Access the permissions for your list or site
• In this example, we’ll choose List Permissions from the ribbon bar
45. Breaking Inheritance
Takes a snapshot of the parent permissions which you can then
edit.
However, it doesn't take a snapshot of who is in the groups...
just the fact that the group is in the permission list.
Therefore, you can't update the group in that specific site,
thinking it will not affect anywhere else that group is used.
46. Who has permission?
• From the site ribbon bar, click Check Permission
• Enter the name of the user
• Check Now
