  It would be great to have a function that enable directly changing the role of blog contributors (authors, editors, etc) to decrease their permissions to a read-only role. Currently the only way to do this is add the contributors as readers/ viewers, and then separately remove them from the blog team. This is highly inconvenient for those of us using a blog for a class or workshop, as it requires people re-accepting an invite to the blog. Being able to choose the role “reader” or “viewer” from the drop-down menu where one can change user roles would be a much more economical and user-friendly function.
