Which group role only allows a member to access and use group content, unless the group is configured to allow this role to also contribute content?

The choice of a group member is appropriate because this role is designed specifically for individuals who need access to the content shared within a group but do not have permission to contribute or modify that content by default. In many governance structures within ArcGIS Online, group members can view and utilize the resources shared with the group, allowing for collaboration and resource sharing among participants.

Even if group members have access to the content, the fundamental characteristic of their role is that contribution privileges are not automatically granted. The group owner or group manager may have the ability to configure permissions differently, allowing group members to contribute content if the group's settings permit it, but the standard role definition of a group member restricts them primarily to usage rights.

In contrast, organizational administrators, group managers, and group owners have broader responsibilities and permissions that typically include managing users, settings, and overall permissions within the group, giving them the authority to add or modify group content as needed. This distinction underscores the limited scope of the group member role compared to the more advanced roles, reinforcing the correct understanding of their capabilities within the ArcGIS Online environment.
