How do I find user roles in WordPress?

Last updated on September 25, 2022 @ 12:29 am

User roles in WordPress are a way to grant specific permissions to certain users. To find user roles in WordPress, go to the Users menu in the WordPress admin area, and then click on the Roles link. This will display a list of all the user roles in the WordPress system. To add a new role, click on the Add Role button, and then fill out the required information.

PRO TIP: If you are unsure about which user role(s) to assign to a particular user on your WordPress site, we recommend consulting with a WordPress developer or support specialist. Assigning the wrong user role can lead to unexpected results, including decreased security on your site.

When you’re finished, click on the Save Role button to save your role. To assign a role to a user, go to the user’s profile page in the WordPress admin area, and under the Roles column, click on the role you want to assign to the user.
