WordPress User Management

WordPress comes right out of the box with unlimited numbers of users and 5 user roles (permissions, essentially).  To access, view or add users, go to Users >> All Users.

Summary of capabilities for each of the 5 user roles:

Security Note: Use the Administrator role sparingly.  It’s really only for users that actually need to edit, update and otherwise admin the site.  If an Admin user’s account was hacked or compromised, it puts the whole site in jeopardy.

With some plugins, additional user roles can be created and even edited.  More on that later.
