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.
