An admin or an editor must review and publish the written post, and they will also have to assist the contributor with images, videos and audio files since they cannot access the media library.<\/p>\n<p>If you think about having a guest blogger, or anyone that does not post regularly, contributor role is for them.<\/p>\n<h3>WordPress author role<\/h3>\n<p><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-25807\" src=\"https:\/\/wpdatatables.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/wproles-2.jpg\" alt width=\"800\" height=\"464\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wpdatatables.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/wproles-2.jpg 800w, https:\/\/wpdatatables.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/wproles-2-300x174.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\"><\/noscript><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-25807 lazyload\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns%3D%22http%3A%2F%2Fwww.w3.org%2F2000%2Fsvg%22%20viewBox%3D%220%200%20800%20464%22%3E%3C%2Fsvg%3E\" alt width=\"800\" height=\"464\" srcset=\"data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns%3D%22http%3A%2F%2Fwww.w3.org%2F2000%2Fsvg%22%20viewBox%3D%220%200%20800%20464%22%3E%3C%2Fsvg%3E 800w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/wpdatatables.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/wproles-2.jpg 800w, https:\/\/wpdatatables.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/wproles-2-300x174.jpg 300w\" data-src=\"https:\/\/wpdatatables.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/wproles-2.jpg\"><\/p>\n<p>On a first glance, these roles look similar, but if \u201cWordPress contributor vs author\u201d battle would occur, the latter would win.<\/p>\n<p>Authors can write, edit, delete <em>and<\/em> publish their own posts, as well as upload files into the media library, but they cannot see anything created by other users on the dashboard. Another plus is the ability to moderate comments on their own posts.<\/p>\n<p>Of course, the role has certain limitations: they cannot delete anything from the media library, and can\u2019t create, edit, or delete pages.<\/p>\n<h3>WordPress editor role<\/h3>\n<p><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-25806\" src=\"https:\/\/wpdatatables.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/wproles-1.jpg\" alt width=\"800\" height=\"464\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wpdatatables.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/wproles-1.jpg 800w, https:\/\/wpdatatables.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/wproles-1-300x174.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\"><\/noscript><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-25806 lazyload\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns%3D%22http%3A%2F%2Fwww.w3.org%2F2000%2Fsvg%22%20viewBox%3D%220%200%20800%20464%22%3E%3C%2Fsvg%3E\" alt width=\"800\" height=\"464\" srcset=\"data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns%3D%22http%3A%2F%2Fwww.w3.org%2F2000%2Fsvg%22%20viewBox%3D%220%200%20800%20464%22%3E%3C%2Fsvg%3E 800w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/wpdatatables.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/wproles-1.jpg 800w, https:\/\/wpdatatables.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/wproles-1-300x174.jpg 300w\" data-src=\"https:\/\/wpdatatables.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/wproles-1.jpg\"><\/p>\n<p>Now we are getting to the interesting part.<\/p>\n<p>In addition to permissions that an author role has, an editor can publish, edit, or delete any page or post, including the private ones.

If you trust your authors, then allowing them to do just that will speed up the workflow.<\/p>\n<p>Of course, the story can be completely different. Having the ability to delete their own posts may spell disaster in case the author leaves the job on bad terms and decides to remove all of his or her posts.<\/p>\n<p>Either way, for the sake of this WordPress user role tutorial, let us assume that you want to remove the permission of authors to delete their own content once published.<\/p>\n<p>The first step is to install and activate WordPress user roles plugin called Capability Manager Enhanced plugin.<\/p>\n<p>Then go to users, capabilities and select the user role you want to change from the top box in the right column, and then click the load button. Uncheck the capabilities that you want to remove from the user, and save changes.<\/p>\n<p>This will load user\u2019s capabilities in the boxes on the left.<\/p>\n<h3>How to add WordPress custom user roles?<\/h3>\n<p>Using the WordPress user role plugin we just mentioned, you can create custom user roles with their own set of permissions for your website.<\/p>\n<p>Go to user, capabilities and type in the WordPress user role name under \u201cCreate New Role\u201d.&nbsp; After that, under \u201cOther WordPress Capabilities\u201d select which permissions you want the custom user to have.<\/p>\n<p>It is simple as that.<\/p>\n<h3>How can I effectively apply user roles on my website?<\/h3>\n<p>Now that you know how each user role works, it is time to take a look at how to apply them correctly. Here are several tips for making the best out of WordPress user roles which you can use on your website:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>For security reasons, every user should only have the level of access they <em>need<\/em>.<\/li>\n<li>Limit the number of top user roles. We suggest having only one administrator and a few trusted editors.<\/li>\n<li>Assign author role to users which regularly create content for your website, and have earned your trust.<\/li>\n<li>New and one-time writers and guest bloggers will be more than happy with the contributor role.<\/li>\n<li>Use a WordPress user roles plugin to customize your user roles. We already talked about Capability Manager Enhanced, but User Role Editor is also a good option.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"FAQ_on_WordPress_user_roles\"><\/span>FAQ on WordPress user roles<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<h3>How do I assign a user role in WordPress?<\/h3>\n<p>To assign a user role, navigate to the <strong>WordPress dashboard<\/strong>, select Users &gt; Add New or edit an existing user. Here, you can choose the desired role from a dropdown menu. This assigns specific <strong>permissions settings<\/strong> and capabilities to the user, tailoring their access and functions.<\/p>\n<h3>Can I create custom user roles?<\/h3>\n<p>Yes, custom user roles can be created using plugins like the <strong>User Role Editor<\/strong>. These tools allow you to define unique <strong>user roles<\/strong> and <strong>capabilities<\/strong>, offering flexibility to match your site\u2019s specific needs and ensuring precise <strong>access control<\/strong> for various users.<\/p>\n<h3>What is the difference between Administrator and Editor roles?<\/h3>\n<p>The Administrator has complete control over the site, including <strong>content management<\/strong>, settings, and user roles. The Editor, however, can manage and publish posts, including those by other users, but lacks access to site settings and overall <strong>user management<\/strong> functions.<\/p>\n<h3>How can I limit user access to specific areas of my WordPress site?<\/h3>\n<p>Limiting user access involves configuring <strong>role-based access<\/strong> controls. Use plugins like <strong>User Role Editor<\/strong> to fine-tune permissions, restricting users to specific areas. This ensures that only authorized users can access sensitive parts of your site, enhancing <strong>site security<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<h3>What capabilities does the Contributor role have?<\/h3>\n<p>Contributors can write and manage their own posts but cannot publish them. They must submit their work for review. This role is ideal for guest authors, as it allows them to create content without granting full editorial or <strong>administrative privileges<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<h3>How does the Subscriber role function?<\/h3>\n<p>Subscribers have the most limited capabilities. They can manage their profiles and leave comments but cannot create or manage posts. This role is typically used for sites requiring user registration for commenting or accessing restricted content, maintaining strict <strong>access control<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<h3>Can user roles be modified after assignment?<\/h3>\n<p>Yes, user roles can be modified anytime. Go to the <strong>WordPress dashboard<\/strong>, select Users, and edit the specific user. Here, you can change their role, adjusting their <strong>permissions settings<\/strong> to better suit evolving responsibilities or security requirements.<\/p>\n<h3>What are the best plugins for managing WordPress user roles?<\/h3>\n<p>Top plugins for managing <strong>WordPress user roles<\/strong> include <strong>User Role Editor<\/strong>, Members, and Capability Manager Enhanced. These tools offer robust features for <strong>customizing roles<\/strong>, setting specific capabilities, and ensuring comprehensive <strong>role-based access<\/strong> and <strong>user management<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<h3>Why is understanding WordPress user roles important for site management?<\/h3>\n<p>Understanding <strong>WordPress user roles<\/strong> is crucial for maintaining a secure, organized, and efficient site. Properly assigned roles and <strong>permissions settings<\/strong> streamline <strong>content management<\/strong>, enhance <strong>site security<\/strong>, and ensure that users have appropriate access levels, preventing unauthorized actions and maintaining workflow integrity.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Conclusion\"><\/span>Conclusion<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Mastering WordPress user roles is pivotal for maintaining a well-structured and secure site. By comprehending the intricacies of each role\u2014from Administrator to Subscriber\u2014you ensure that every user operates within defined boundaries, safeguarding your site&#8217;s integrity and efficiency.<\/p>\n<p>To recap, understanding <strong>user roles<\/strong> isn&#8217;t just about knowing what each role can do. It&#8217;s about leveraging these roles for <strong>effective content management<\/strong>, <strong>precise access control<\/strong>, and enhancing <strong>user engagement<\/strong>. Utilizing tools like <strong>User Role Editor<\/strong> and implementing strategic <strong>permissions settings<\/strong> empowers you to tailor roles to your specific needs, ensuring a seamless and secure workflow.<\/p>\n<p><strong>With these insights, you&#8217;re equipped to optimize your WordPress site&#8217;s functionality and security<\/strong>.
