Users can be assigned permission to either post to a blog or sumbit a post for review.
The functionality enables a group of people to post to one blog . Team blogging is very useful especially in marketing blogs or developer blogs where the entire team can contribute to the blog.
Other users can be assigned various levels of permissions by the blog owner and/or the administrator. There are four different user levels and permissions that can be assigned to users by the blog owner or administrator.
These membership level indicates only write permissions to blogs . The different write permission levels are as follows
- Administrator
: Blog administrators can post to a blog and also have access to the settings panel and can change permission of other users.
- Member
: These users are allowed to post to the blog. They however so not have access to the settings panel and cannot alter other user permissions.
- Restricted Member
: Restricted members can create a post and then submit it for review. It will be published by the administrator if its been approved..
- Non Member
: This section of users are not members of the blog.
 Note: A blog can have multiple administrators but can have just one owner.
