To
change a particular group's permissions for a particular
folder, you modify the group's role
for that folder. A role is a defined set of permissions
that a group can have.
The
following table describes each role and the permissions
it confers on a group.

The
Owner role is always assigned to the Owner
group, and can't be changed; nor can any other

Administrator role confers on the Administrators
group the ability to perform any operation
on the web except for changing the owner.
