Manage the default permissions for your SharePoint site workspace
For SharePoint site workspaces, your PortalTalk application administrator may have set per workspace category which permissions are assigned by default to the different user types.
There are three different user types: Owners, Internal Team Members, and External Team Members.
When you create a SharePoint site workspace, the default permissions that apply within the relevant category are adopted within your workspace.
The internal users and external users are assigned these default permissions as soon as you add them to the team.
An internal user gets the default permissions for an owner, as soon as you appoint this internal user as a co-owner.
If necessary, refer to the Assign Roles/Permissions page for an explanation of how to assign owner permissions to an internal team member.
As the owner of a SharePoint site workspace, you can change the default permissions for your workspace.
For example:
If the default permission for external team members is Read, but within your workspace all external team members must have Contribute permissions, you can change that for your own SharePoint site workspace.
