User Roles

WordPress uses a concept of role, designed to give the site owner the ability to control what users can and cannot do within the site. There are 5 pre-defined roles available to you.

• Administrator – somebody who has access to all the administration features within a single site.
• Editor – somebody who can publish and manage posts including the posts of other users.
• Author – somebody who can publish and manage their own posts.
• Contributor – somebody who can write and manage their own posts but cannot publish them.
• Subscriber – somebody who can only manage their profile.
