Grant Permissions to a User in SharePoint Online
In this blog, I will discuss how to give permission to a user in SharePoint. I will provide step-by-step instructions on how to grant permission to a user for a specific SharePoint Site and the different types of permissions you can assign to a user.
Step 1. Access SharePoint Online
To grant permissions, you must have administrative access to the SharePoint Online site.
Step 2. Navigate to the Site Settings: Once you are logged in, navigate to the site where you want to grant permissions.

Step 5. Add the User
Once you click on the Grant permission button, SharePoint automatically opens the dialog box where you need to provide the user information. If the user is from your organization, it will automatically detect his details, or you can manually enter the email address for the user.

Note. Here you need to make sure, or you need to take properly your hands on the check box, which will be checked by default. If you want to send a notification, keep it as it is or unchecked.
Step 6. Choose the Permission Level
Next, you need to select the appropriate permission level for the user. SharePoint Online offers several predefined permission levels.
