I have the latest version of Wordpress, now I was wondering what exactly: Subscriber means, what it does. Editor Author and as last Contributor ? Can I add also new roles, if so where ? I don't seem to find it.
For more infos find here, Only one important tip, never ever give someone else Admin roles to your blog unless you really really trust this person. To me, the familiar roles, are subsribers and authors. Subscribers can't post, but author can.
Alright thanks for telling me but what does each role do or is able to get ? I know admin role now and subscriber cannot post but what about author and editor ?
Here is a detailed article on what are roles and what can each role do: http://codex.wordpress.org/Roles_and_Capabilities And you can add new roles as well. For that you will have to use a plugin called "Capability Manager"
