Default Site Actions available

The following table shows all of the actions that the owner of a MySite can typically perform on their site.

The method for configuring which actions can or can’t be performed by the site owner is to change their permission levels… each permission level controls the ability to perform some set of actions (see the Permissions Matrix). Therefore the granularity of what actions can be customized is set in advance. You may not be able to get the exact combination you think you need.
