Scenario/Problem: You want to manage the security in a site.
Solution:
To get to a site’s security settings page, open the site’s Site Actions
menu and click the Site Settings option to open the site’s settings
page, then click the Site Permissions link under the Users and
Permissions heading (see Figure 1).

Either method opens the site permission management page, where you can manage the permissions for the site (see Figure 2).

using the permissions on the page.
Note
A list, library, or list item in a site might
have unique permissions—that is, someone might have changed the
permissions on it and broken its inheritance from the site. In this
case, a yellow bar warns you that changes made in the site level will
not impact those items, as shown in Figure 2.
