Remarks
SharePoint Server manages permissions through role definitions. Local administrators of servers are not automatically granted access to any website. Members of the SharePoint Administrator group are farm administrators and have access only to the central administration site collection.
You can assign a user, security group, or group to a role or role definition. Both groups and users can be members of groups.
The Administrator and Guest roles cannot be modified or deleted.
For information about the permissions that are available for users and groups, see the BasePermissions enumeration. For information about role definitions, see the RoleDefinition class.
