MultiChoice - Specifies that the field contains one or more values from a set of specified values. The value = 15.
GridChoice - Specifies that the field contains rating scale values for a survey list. The value = 16.
Calculated - Specifies that the field is a calculated field. The value = 17.
File - Specifies that the field contains the leaf name of a document as a value. The value = 18.
Attachments - Specifies that the field indicates whether the list item has attachments. The value = 19.
User - Specifies that the field contains one or more users and groups as values. The value = 20.
Recurrence - Specifies that the field indicates whether a meeting in a calendar list recurs. The value = 21.
CrossProjectLink - Specifies that the field contains a link between projects in a Meeting Workspace site. The value = 22.

How to manage SharePoint / Teams permissions
In every Teams, in background there is a SharePoint site.
How to access SharePoint associated with Teams
Browse your Teams files


Check user / Office 365 group permission
On SharePoint site advanced permissions page you can check user / Office 365 group permissions
SharePoint standard defaults groups
On SharePoint Site creation, by default 3 groups are created
By default, all content on the SharePoint site inherits permissions from the parent SharePoint site.
Allow only a few members or group for a folder
You can set specific permissions in SharePoint / Teams for :
For each person / groups, you can set permission level :
Allow only a few members or group for a folder
By defaut the folder inherits parent folder or library permission, to break permissions and apply new ones :
Create specific permissions (Read / write but not delete)
By default in SharePoint we have 5 permissions levels
You can clic on default permission level to affine them but
it’s not a good practice
.
To add a new permission level (in site permissions)
Share / give permission to external user
Sharing with external users governance is managed at Tenant level
By default a Teams “private channel” cannot be Shared with externals users / domain
With public site or channel, your can Share your SharePoint site :
