Join Simon Allardice for an in-depth discussion in this video Adding a user to a site, part of SharePoint 2010 Essential Training.
So, here's how to add a user to a SharePoint site.…You're going to go to your Site Actions menu and come down to Site Permissions.…In this first screen, what we're actually looking at are those three groups that I mentioned:…the Owners group, the Members group, and the Visitors group.…If you look over here, it's being explicit that the Visitors group gets…Read permission level.…The Owners group gets Full Control permission level.…The Members group gets Contribute permission level.…There are a couple of other entries in here, which I would say right now you can…safely ignore. They are kind of being used for little one-off reasons inside…SharePoint, and internal reasons.…
Visitors, Members, and Owners are the classic three SharePoint groups to work with.…If I look at the Owners group, what I actually find in here, I've got two people…in there. There's me and Hedda Conway.…They are both owners.…They can create sites in this site collection.…They can manipulate sites.…They can create and delete lists and libraries or even delete entire sites.…

Q: In the "Adding a user to a site" movie, the instructor shows how to add a user to SharePoint and demonstrates by adding a user named “gini.” But gini is already set up and recognized by SharePoint. What if I have no users set yet? How can I add someone?
A: SharePoint doesn't store a separate user database; it wants to be pointed to an existing source of users, like Active Directory. If you don't have that, you need to first add your new users as local accounts on the Windows box you installed SharePoint on. Only then will you be able to give them permission on a SharePoint site.
