In this article, I am hoping to demystify permissions in modern SharePoint sites. I will talk about the differences between the permissions on Communication sites and Modern Team sites. I’ll also outline how some of the functionality around the permissions framework changes based on the type of site you are using.

This article will talk more about these interfaces when dealing with the default SharePoint groups.

SharePoint has used the same three default groups when a site is created, since I started working with SharePoint 2007. In this article, I wanted to talk about these default groups, detail how they relate to the permissions and security of a SharePoint site, and show how to interact with them.
