SharePoint User Roles

A Comprehensive List of SharePoint User, Admin, and Governance Roles


What is the difference between a SharePoint User or a SharePoint Administrator?

What responsibilities are involved in SharePoint Governance?

A common language is critical in communication with any type of community group, technology, or culture. Using a defined vocabulary allows us to communicate effectively and with understanding. The same goes for SharePoint.

Using SharePoint is a very different experience depending on your role. Standardizing the names of SharePoint roles, and defining the responsibilities of individuals who participate in SharePoint projects, ensures that no gaps, major risks, or issues are left out of your organization’s SharePoint radar, ensuring long-term success.

  •  Influential Information Workers
  •  Software Development Leaders
  •  Search Administrators
  •  Approvers
  •  SharePoint Developers
