    From SharePoint 2013 and in Online, a new default permission level is given to the Members group i.e. Edit. In addition to the capabilities given by the Contribute permission level, Edit also gives users additional abilities to edit and delete existing lists, plus create new lists.
    Contribute Permissions - View, add, update and delete list items and documents
    Edit Permissions - View, add, update and delete list items and documents + Add, Edit and delete Lists

    Edit and Contribute are easily confused.
    Edit – Can add, edit and delete lists; can view, add, update and delete list items and documents.

    Contribute – Can view, add, update, and delete list items and documents.
