List of User Roles
Here’s a quick summary of each role, with detailed descriptions further down this page:
- Administrator: The highest level of permission. Admins have the power to access almost everything.
- Editor: Has access to all posts, pages, comments, categories, and tags, and can upload media.
- Author: Can write, upload media, edit, and publish their own posts.
- Contributor: Has no publishing or uploading capability but can write and edit their own posts until they are published.
- Viewer: Viewers can read and comment on posts and pages on private sites.
- Subscriber: People who subscribe to your site’s updates.
Each user role is capable of everything that a less powerful role is capable of. In other words, Editors can do everything Authors can do, Authors can do everything Contributors can do, and so on.
