Administrators must be site collection administrators for the Shared Services Administration site, or have Full Control permission to that site.
Administrators for the Shared Services Administration site can add or remove permissions for users and groups in the site. Most users are added as Viewers and can access most of the administration pages on the site. Other administration pages require additional services permissions. A smaller number of users might have Design or Contribute permissions in order to customize or otherwise modify the administration pages and other content on the site.
The available permissions are Full Control, Design, Contribute, Read, and View Only.
