  I am a self taught web designer using WP. I want to give a user one specific assignment to edit namely a calendar so that they can edit the calendar but nothing else. Is there a way to do this?

  Hi there,

  There are different levels of users with varying levels of permissions, here is a list that you can choose from:

  Administrator – nothing is off limits* (see note below)
  Editor – has access to all posts, pages, comments, categories, tags, and links.
  Author – can write, upload photos to, edit, and publish their own posts.
  Contributor – has no publishing or uploading capability, but can write and edit their own posts until they are published
  Follower (public sites) / Viewer (private sites only) – can read and comment on posts and pages

  For more detail on these user roles see: https://en.support.wordpress.com/user-roles/
