  How do you switch a user role from viewer to author on a private blog you have created?

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

  Hi! You can do this in Users → All Users.

  As outlined in the User Roles support page:

  1. Head to Users → All Users in your dashboard.
  2. Check the box next to user whom you’d like to change the role for.
  3. Using Change role to… dropdown menu, select the new user role you want to assign.
  4. Click the Change button.

  I hope that helps!
