  Hi there — there are several user roles: http://en.support.wordpress.com/user-roles/

  To clarify, you meant “pages” not “posts,” right?

  If so, I don’t think there’s a role that *exactly* fits what you want. For example, a Contributor can create and edit their own posts, but cannot publish them (but has no uploading or page creation capabilities). An Author can create, edit, publish, and delete their own posts, as well as upload files. But they can’t create, modify, or delete pages either.

  Do check the link above for the support doc that describes the user roles in detail.

  And we are talking about a site hosted on WordPress.com, right?

  Hi there — these forums are for users with sites hosted on WordPress.com. The forums for self-hosted users are at http://wordpress.org/support.

  If it isn’t hosted here, and indeed if we are talking about a self-hosted WordPress install, you’ll want to check in over at WordPress.org’s support forum. The link is in the footer under Community. If you aren’t registered there, you’ll need to sign up.
