WordPress includes a user role management system that establishes what a user can and cannot do on your site. As your WordPress site grows, it’s critical to understand these user roles and permissions.
There are five default user roles available when you install WordPress:
* Administrator
* Editor
* Author
* Contributor
* Subscriber
1. Role of the Administrator
The administrator role is the most powerful user role on a standard WordPress website. Users with the administrator position have the ability to create new posts, change existing posts, and delete them.
Additionally, they have the ability to install, alter, and uninstall plugins and themes.
Most significantly, admin users have the ability to add and remove users, as well as update information about existing users, such as passwords.
This role is mostly for site owners, and it grants you complete authority over your WordPress blog. If you’re running a multi-user WordPress site, you’ll want to be cautious about who you give the administrator user position to.
2. The Editor’s Job
Users with the editor job in WordPress have complete access over your website’s content sections.
They have complete control over the site, including the ability to add, edit, publish, and delete any post, including those published by others. An editor has the ability to moderate, modify, and delete comments.
Editors are unable to make changes to your site’s settings, install plugins and themes, or create new users.
3. Authorship
The author position allows users to write, edit, and publish their own entries. They can also remove their own posts from the site, even if they have already been published.
Authors cannot establish new categories while creating posts, but they can choose from existing ones. They can also use tags to organise their content.
Authors can see all comments, even those that are awaiting approval, but they cannot moderate, approve, or remove them.
It’s a low-risk user position because they don’t have access to site settings, plugins, or themes. The ability to delete their own published posts is the lone exception.
4. Role of the Contributor
Users with the contributor status can create new posts and amend existing ones, but they are unable to publish them.
They can add their own tags or choose from existing categories while posting entries.
The contributor role’s major drawback is that they can’t upload files, so they can’t include photographs in their postings.
Contributors have access to all website comments, but they are unable to approve or delete them.
Finally, they have no access to your website’s settings, plugins, or themes, so they can’t make any changes.
5. Role of the Subscriber
The subscriber role allows users to log in to your WordPress site, edit their user profiles, and change their passwords.
Inside your WordPress admin area, they can’t make posts, read comments, or do anything else.
If you have a membership site, an online store, or another site where users may register and log in, this user role is especially valuable.
