Add a user to your blog

You can invite anyone to contribute or subscribe to your blog. Before adding a new user, make sure they have a Vivaldi account or ask them to register.

1. Go to the blog’s Dashboard > Users > Add Existing. 
2. Type in their account’s recovery email and select the role (Subscriber, Contributor, Author, Editor or Administrator).

The new user will get an invitation to their email, which they have to accept before they can access your blog as a contributor.

The different roles can be summarized as follow:

• 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.
