  Hi,

  I am building a WP website for a small trustworthy College community and I would like everyone to be able to write and edit each other’s posts. I think creating and managing individual accounts for every community member is an unnecessary amount of work, especially since the community will be fluctuating. How can I best cater for this setup?

  Hi. There are various user roles that you can enable for other users to provide varying levels of access and responsibility.

  It sounds like you want to make these others users “Editors”, where you would maintain the “Administrator” role.

  Editors can create, edit, publish, and delete any post or page (not just their own), as well as moderate comments and manage categories, tags, and links. There is a certain amount of power for an Editor, they can delete as well as edit. But that is the only role where they can manage other peoples posts.

  On the other hand, the Administrator can go as far as deleting the entire site, so it’s advisable to only have one of those.

  Hope this information helps.
