Remarks

A permission consists of a right or combination of rights as specified by the SPRights enumeration. Each permission within the collection of permissions for a site or list is represented by an SPPermission object, whose PermissionMask property contains the set of rights assigned to the user or group.

Unlike rights as used in the user interface, rights do not depend on other rights in the object model. Individual rights can be assigned to users and groups without including dependent rights, and can be assigned in any combination. Be careful when customizing permissions through the object model, because assigning a single right to a user or group, for example, can produce an unpleasant user experience.

For information about site groups that are available by default, see the SPRoleType enumeration. For general information about permissions and security, see Security, Users, and Groups in Windows SharePoint Services.
