There are four main roles that you can assign to people who you want to blog with: Contributor, Author, Editor, and Administrator. There is also a fifth role that’s slightly different than the main four, but it’s name depends on whether your site is
public or private. If your site is public, this fifth role is called a Follower. If your site is private, this fifth role is called a Viewer. User roles are listed below, going from the least powerful to the most powerful. Each user role is capable of everything that a less powerful role is capable of. (In others words, Editors can do everything Authors can do, Authors can do everything Contributors can do, and so on.) Follower
Followers do not have any editing privileges on your site whatsoever, they are simply people who have signed up to receive updates each time you publish a new post. The only thing they can do on your site is leave comments (if you have them enabled), though they do not have to be a Follower to do so. If your blog is public, anyone can follow it, but you can also send out invitations to specific people you’d like to share your blog with.

Viewer
Viewers are the equivalent of Followers, but for private sites. All they can do is simply read the private site they were invited to and leave comments on it (again, only if you’ve enabled them).

Contributor
A Contributor can create and edit only their own posts, but cannot publish them. When one of their posts is ready to be published, it will need to be submitted to an Administrator for review first. Furthermore, once a Contributor’s post is approved and published by an Administrator, it can no longer be edited by the Contributor. Contributors do not have the ability to upload files or images, but they can see your site’s stats.

Author
An Author can create, edit, publish, and delete only their own posts, as well as upload files and images. Authors do not have access to create, modify, or delete pages, nor can they modify posts by other users.

Editor
An Editor can create, edit, publish, and delete any post or page (not just their own), as well as moderate comments and manage categories, tags, and links.

Administrator
An Administrator has full power over the site and can do absolutely everything. They have complete control over posts, pages, uploaded files, comments, settings, themes, imports, other users – the whole shebang. Nothing is off-limits for Administrators, including deleting the entire site. This is why we recommend having only one administrator per blog.
