| Contributor | Author | Editor | Admin | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Write and edit own drafts | ✅ | ✅ | ✅ | ✅ |

| Publish, schedule and unpublish own posts | ✅ | ✅ | ✅ | |
| Edit anyone's posts | ✅ | ✅ | ||
| Approve others' posts, request changes (with notes) | ✅ | ✅ | ||
| Moderate comments | Own posts | ✅ | ✅ | |
| Pages, pinned posts, categories | ✅ | ✅ | ||
| Users, settings, permanent delete | ✅ |
An Author publishes their own posts with no review, and can't see or change anyone else's. Good for a trusted writer who doesn't need an editor.
How review works
- A Contributor writes a draft and clicks Submit for review.
- The number of posts waiting for review shows in the sidebar.
- An Editor or Admin does one of these:
- approves and publishes it,
- schedules it,
- sends it back with a note explaining what to change.
Every submit, approval, change request and unpublish is logged with who, when and why, so "who published this?" always has an answer.
Comments: Editors and Admins approve visitors' comments on every post, and Authors on their own posts. See Comments, likes and sharing.
Add people under Users (Admins only).
