  content management system for developing an
  enticing and secure website. WordPress as a CMS
  comes power packed with the role management
  system that enables to define what tasks a

Administrator

• For the first step for displaying your content,
  you need to know that the Administrator is the
  most powerful user role. A user with the
  administrator role can change the structure of
  the website including its theme, plugins and
  other user settings.
• An administrator user can add new users to the
  site and also change information about the
  existing users. An administrators role provides
  with a full hold over the website to display
  content.

Author

• An author as the name suggests users with the
  author role can write, edit and publish their own
  posts. They have all the freedom to upload media
  files to use within their posts. Authors can
  create categories and can create new tags for the
  posts. They can also view the comments including
  those that are pending review bit they cannot
  approve, moderate or delete any comments.
• The major disadvantage of assigning roles to the
  author is that they can delete their post even
  after publishing it.

  content of your website. A user with the editor
  role has the full gold on the content sections of
  your site. They have access to add, edit, delete
  and publish posts on your WordPress website. This
  editing capability includes all the posts even
  the ones written by the authors.
• Though having access to all the content aspects
  of the website, an editor is restricted to change
  the site settings.

• The users who prominently aims to get the
  recognition by contributing their work for your
  site are known as the contributors. Contributors
  can add and edit their posts, but they cannot
  publish the posts. Contributors can even choose
  from the existing categories and add the relevant
  tags.
• They are restricted to upload any external files
  on the website, not even images for their posts.

  user profiles.
