  If you create a Drupal user, and if your CiviCRM integration is set up correctly, then a CiviCRM contact record will be created that is connected to that Drupal user.
  
  If your CiviCRM Contact already exists then you can either
  
  * click on Actions and create CMS User from there or
  * create a Drupal user via Drupal and if it matches email then it should connect them.
  
  Then there are then a LOT of civicrm permissions via the Drupal interface that you can set depending on what you want that person to do.
