How to change a Wordpress user’s permissions?
By default, Wordpress provides that the permissions of the various users of a site are defined by their roles. Each user is assigned a specific role, which determines what they can and cannot do.
To change a user’s permissions, you simply have to change the role assigned to them.
It is important to note that only a user with the role of super administrator or administrator can change the roles of other users.
Change a Wordpress user’s permissions by changing the default role
- From the dashboard menu, hover over the account section and select All accounts.
- From the list of users on your Wordpress site, select the one whose role you want to change. You will be redirected to a window containing user settings.
- In the user settings, scroll down to the Role section. Click on the assigned role and select the new role you want to assign to the user.
- After making the desired changes, scroll to the bottom of the page and click the Update Account button.
