Users and groups must be granted some level of permission to get access to SharePoint sites. Which can be in one of two ways:
Permission levels are set of permissions that a particular user or group is allowed to perform specific actions. Each permission levels consist of a number of detailed permissions (such as: Create Alerts, Delete Items, etc). SharePoint Server 2010 provides these default permission levels: Full Control, Design, Contribute, Read (Sorted highest permission level to the lowest).
Why we need permission levels in SharePoint? Security! It defines who can do what. The level of access is controlled by the permission level, which you can think of as a security role.

What is limited access permission level in SharePoint?
Limited Access is a special type of security role that a user or group is automatically granted when
getting access to a specific list/library/item, but not to the site itself.
E.g. When we grant access to a specific list, but not the site, users will get read access to the list and limited access to the site. Because user must get access to the site in order to access the list, isn't it?
SharePoint permission level scope: Permission Level are scoped at Site Collection (You can't define it at web level) . add a permission level ribbon button is missing SharePoint 2010. If you Break the Inheritance, will get Permission levels but will not be able to customize it at subsite level as permission levels greyed out in subsites.
SharePoint permission level inheritance: Permission levels are created at CA/site collection level (in RootWeb) and inherited by its subsites. Each site collection has its own set of default permission levels. When you change or add new permission levels, they will be automatically replicated to all subsites in the site collection.
