How much does SharePoint cost? The cost of SharePoint depends on the organization's size and the needed features. SharePoint is available in various editions, including on-premise, cloud-based, and hybrid solutions.

• SharePoint Online is a cloud-based service hosted by Microsoft. You do not need to purchase or maintain any hardware or software. SharePoint Online is a subscription-based service, and you pay a monthly fee depending on the number of users and the amount of storage you need.
  
  
• SharePoint On-Premise is a self-hosted solution that you install on your own servers. This gives you more control over the platform, but it also requires more investment in hardware and software. SharePoint On-Premise is a one-time purchase, but you must pay for ongoing maintenance and support.

What are the different roles within SharePoint?

Not sure where which SharePoint training courses match your needs? Here are the different roles within SharePoint:

• End User is the most common user, who contributes content to the site, works with documents and list items, but has no responsibility for site configuration and maintenance.
  
  
• Power User has the characteristics and permissions of the End User, plus responsibilities for creating and maintaining components of the site, including lists, libraries, web pages and more.
  
  
• Site Owner has the characteristics and permissions of the Power User, plus overall control of the site, including designing the site, managing permissions and creating sub-sites.
  
  
• Site Collection Administrator has the characteristics and permissions of the Site Owner, plus overall control of a site collection. A site collection is a discrete unit with its own users, permission levels, and features.
  
  
• Farm Administrator is the individual in charge of the entire SharePoint installation, controlling all site collections, web applications, storage and maintenance.
