How Do I See My Permission Level on a Sharepoint Site

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's no OOB way to do that if you don't have access to the check permission page.

That said, if you can code a bit, you can access the effective permission for the current for any securable object using the SPSecurableObject.EffectiveBasePermissions property.

As a reminder, SPSecurableObject is an abstract class, ancestor of SPWeb, SPlist, SPFolder and SPListItem classes.

This property will show the actual permissions the current user has.

If you need the get the role (autorisation level), the SPSecurableObject.AllRolesForCurrentUser property will do the job.

That said, you should know there is SharePoint dedicated StackExchange site.

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.
