Does WP have role management right out of the box?

Hi,

Does Wordpress have role management features right out of the box.

For example does it allow for say user, author, editor, admin, superadmin, with different publishing and editing rights out of the box, or is there a component to do that?

Thanks

 

Yes, and it works great for stander publishing of a blog. but if your using wordpress for a more complex site, check out http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/s2member/

 

As the previous poster stated, WP does have role management out of the box. You can read more about role management here:

http://codex.wordpress.org/Roles_and_Capabilities

The plugin mentioned above is for turning WordPress into a membership site where you have different levels of access, and users can access different content at those levels.

 

How robust is that out of box feature and how is it set-up?

Posted before I saw the above post - awesome thanks!

 

Users and Profiles and set up the levels or get the admin level plugin

Oh yes. Since the very early versions Wordpress does have a fully functional role management.
