More information​

In SharePoint Embedded, all files and documents are stored in Containers, and each Container is identified by a Container Type.

Container Type is a property stamped on every Container instance. Each Container Type is owned by one Application, and each Application can own only one Container Type.

The primary function of a Container Type is to manage the application workload that can access the Containers. Container Type defines the access permissions an Application has towards all Containers of that type, including create, read, write, delete containers; manage container permissions, etc.
