Roles

A Role defines a set of tasks a user assigned the role is allowed to perform. For instance, the Super Admin Menu” >Super Admin role encompasses every possible task that can be performed within aNetwork of virtual WordPress sites. The Administrator role limits the allowed tasks only to those which affect a single site. On the other hand, the Author role allows the execution of just a small subset of tasks.

The following sections list the default Roles and their capabilities:
