Change group permission level

Question

How can I change a group permission level? In Site > Site Settings > My group I can see all the members. Add and remove members is possible. In Settings > Show Group's authorization I can see (but not modify) that the level is "Collaboration". How to change this?

NOTE: Sharepoint is in Italian, so the labels I used may not be 100% accurate.

In SharePoint 2013, go to:

Site Settings -> Site Permissions. Then select the group you want to edit via the checkbox, and click Edit User Permissions.

In Site Settings, there will be a link called Advanced Permissions. Clicking on that link will allow you to modify the permission level for the group. If you don't see this link, then you might not have the ability to modify permissions in the site.

Five years down the line, I think @contactmatt's answer is a better 'best answer' to the question than this one. – G-E Oct 12 '16 at 10:00
user1792252's answer would be technically better as it is platform version agnostic. This question was asked in 2011, so a 2013 based answer wouldn't have been applicable. – Eric Alexander Oct 12 '16 at 13:08
in agreement on both counts. – G-E Oct 12 '16 at 14:16

Check out this code...

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Text;
using Microsoft.SharePoint;     

namespace SampleApplication1    
{    
    class Program    
    {    
        static void Main(string[] args)    
        {    
            using (SPSite site = new SPSite("http://rohit:34143/"))    
            {    
                using (SPWeb web = site.RootWeb)    
                {    
                    SPRoleDefinitionCollection roleColl = web.RoleDefinitions;

                    foreach (SPRoleDefinition role in roleColl)    
                    {    
                        Console.WriteLine(role.Name.ToString());    
                    }

                    Console.ReadLine();    
                }    
            }    
        }    
    }    
}

While there is definitely a place for C# code, managing basic permissions is not. — Russell, Dec 21 '11 at 09:59
