Editor – (edit all post & pages)
Author – (edit only his post)
Contributor – (for add new post, don’t have publish option)
Subscriber- (member of the blog)
Administrator Role
Administrator is a very important role for wordpress blog because administrator can have full authority to change anything in his blog. He can change other user’s role even he can able to remove other user for the blog. He can only access all options of wordpress admin like settings, Appearance, users and etc. Administrator can’t change their own user role. If you give admin role for other user he can able to change your role and even he can delete your user account. So be careful while setting administrator role for other user.
