What Is a WordPress Author?
In WordPress, an author is a user role with more permissions than a contributor. Authors can not only write and edit their own posts, Including adding media, but they can also publish them without needing approval from an editor or administrator. Additionally, authors can manage and delete their previously published posts.
This role is ideal for team members who regularly create and manage their own content, giving them the freedom to publish their work directly while still limiting access to other parts of the website.
