  Hello,
  i have a free hosted account on wordpress.com.

  In settings / general I don’t find the default user role setting, and any permission / user role setting is completely absent from my wp admin.

  Why is that ? Where is it supposed to be ?

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

  Hello @webkoros
  What are you trying to do exactly? Are you trying to change user roles?

  If yes, you can follow the instructions given here to do that:

  You can find all users associated with your site and their roles by going to My Sites → People(https://wordpress.com/people/team/)

  Let us know if these help… Thanks! 🙂

  Hi there, Users register for WordPressdotcom, not for a specific site. After they register on WordPressdotcom, they can follow a specific site.

  You can assign a WordPressdotcom user a role when you invite a user to contribute to your site. Here’s more on that https://en.support.wordpress.com/user-roles/

  how to set permissions for each role

  I dont think you can control specific set of permissions. But you can assign roles to the users which controls what the user has access to.
