  We are trying to setup a simple website for students to blog and post photos from all over the world. What is the best way to give specific people those rights only? We would like their post to show up on both the home page and the specific team page.

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Hi @hpgoweek – great idea! :)

  Well, I think the following theme could be a great fit for your project: https://travelerdemo.wordpress.com/

  After that, you can add different persons to your blog and give them different roles – you can do this by accessing this link while you’re logged into your WordPress.com account: https://wordpress.com/people/new
  User roles determine the access level or permissions of a person authorized (invited by an Administrator) to use a WordPress.com site.

  Summary

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

  Each user role is capable of everything that a less powerful role is capable of. (In others words, Editors can do everything Authors can do, Authors can do everything Contributors can do, and so on.)

  If you have other questions, please let me know – I’ll be happy to help :)
