What are Permissions?Permissions can be thought of as "what am I allowed to do on

this site?"

Permissions can be looked at from two perspectives:Site Permissions - Settings that control how users contribute or otherwise interact with the site. Site creators and administrators can change the site permissions scheme as well as an individual user's role.

User Permissions - Settings that control how a user can contribute or interact with a site, as indicated by their role. Different roles include: registered user, writer, moderator, administrator, and site creator.
