Website users

Users are anyone who needs to login in order to interact with your website. You are allowed an unlimited amount of users, each with a varying level of abilities that may be just to get to a sensitive area, post a podcast, create a draft, or edit a page. For example, a local church may want to post their financial giving information, but a member must first login to view that page but NOT be able to view the backstage of the website or edit any post or page.

Another option is if a local church wants a volunteer to be able to login and post the volunteers for the coming weeks but NOT be able to create, edit, or delete any posts or pages.

The main user roles are: Subscriber, Contributor, Author, and Editor. However, there may be more.
