Webpart

Web Parts are part of the ASP.NET technology and are mainly used extensively in Microsoft SharePoint installations. They are used to display or manipulation of content on a SharePoint website by the end user. The changes can be made visible either for all or only for certain users. In addition, settings can be saved and thus permanently assigned to the user who made them. Allowing users to customize a website to your own needs, without the intervention of the administrator is needed. This feature is called personalization.

For example, Web Parts are the display of SharePoint libraries or lists. For example, a document library created in a SharePoint site, this can be shown by means of several Web Parts multiple times on a SharePoint site, for example, once chronologically by date of last modification and even hierarchically based on the folder structure of document library. The selection of the displayed elements and attributes can be varied between the different Web Parts.

As most SharePoint items, web parts, different display and editing rights are assigned. These are independent of the rights of library or list that will be displayed by the web part.
