The most important decision about your site and content security in Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007 is to decide how to categorize your users and what permission levels to assign.

There are several default SharePoint groups that are intended to help you categorize your users based on the types of actions they need to perform, but you might have unique requirements or other ways of looking at sets of users. Likewise, there are default permission levels, but they might not always align exactly with the tasks that your groups need to perform.

In this article, you review the default groups and permission levels and decide whether to use them as they are, customize them, or create different groups and permission levels.
