How Do I See My Permission Level on a Sharepoint Site

sharepointsharepoint-2013

I think I might be Reader or Member, but I can't find any way to see for sure what my permission level is. What can I click in Sharepoint (2013) to see my own permission level? When I google this question, I only find info about how to set permission levels for other users (assuming I am a site owner).

There is no way for a user without enough permissions to find out what rights they have.

Normally you would find it by going to:

“Site Settings” > “Site permissions” > “Check Permissions”

The only other option you have left is basically a process of elimination of the standard SharePoint Permissions. (This could give you a reasonable indication, if they have not created custom permission levels).

Most of the relevant SharePoint permissions are:

• View Only - Can view pages, list items, and documents. Document types with server-side file handlers can be viewed in the browser but not downloaded.

• Read - Can view pages and list items and download documents.

• Limited Access - Can view specific lists, document libraries, list items, folders, or documents when given permissions.

• Approve - Can edit and approve pages, list items, and documents.

• Contribute - Can view, add, update, and delete list items and documents.

• Edit - Can add, edit and delete lists; can view, add, update and delete list items and documents.

• Moderate - Can view, add, update, delete and moderate list items and documents

• Design - Can view, add, update, delete, approve, and customize.

• Full Control - Has full control.
