WordPress User Roles Explained With Table
I hope I’m not the only one who got a little bit confused when WordPress created a user role “Contributor”. My first question was, what’s the difference in privileges between a contributor and an author?
I made this table that compares privileges of different WordPress user roles (Administrator, Editor, Author and Contributor), I hope it helps you!

I completely agree with what you have written. I hope this post could reach more people as this was truly an interesting post.
This guide is handy for understanding the roles; everyone gets confused about it; good work.
Really useful, thanks! WordPress should have this table built into it 🙂
I didn’t realise there was an option where people could edit posts but not be able to publish them without approval.
