Hi,

The permissions across contribute and manage vary slightly depending on what type of object you are granting access to. For a full breakdown of what is allowed for each object type, see this article which explains the different levels of access granted for projects (there's a table at the bottom). In the left hand panel of the article you can look at the permissions for other object types such as tasks, issues etc.

As a high level summary:

• View: User can view, share and comment on objects
• Contribute: User can make updates, log information, make minor edits, (also includes all View permissions).
• Manage: User has full access to the object without administrative rights. i.e., change configuration, delete, create. 

Best Regards,

Rich.
