Note:enter name in above text box.  

Step 5:

Give Permission section

Here there are two options
1. Add user to existing SharePoint groups. User will have same permission as of the SharePoint group.
2. Give permission directly to the user.

There are four SharePoint groups’ permissions
1. Full Control
2. Read Only
3. View Only
4. Contribute 

If we are adding the user to existing groups they will have permission like said above. Other option is we could give permission directly.Select any permission of your choice.
