WordPress user roles and capabilities

WordPress uses a concept of Roles, designed to give the site owner the ability to control what users can and cannot do within the site.
A site owner can manage the user access to such tasks as writing and editing posts, creating Pages,
defining links, creating categories, moderating comments, managing plugins, managing themes, and
managing other users, by assigning a specific role to each of the users.

Contributor: Contributor can write and manage their own posts but cannot publish them.
Author: Author can publish and manage their own posts.
