Question

What are the standard user role names that a majority of sites could all use? Below is a list of the best roles that I could think of (in order of importance), but I am hoping to find at least ten role names for a user system I am working on.

admin:        Manage everything
manager:      Manage most aspects of the site
editor:       Scheduling and managing content
author:       Write important content
contributors: Authors with limited rights
moderator:    Moderate user content
member:       Special user access
subscriber:   Paying Average Joe
user:         Average Joe

Another thing that I'm interested in, is whether or not these names translate over correctly into other languages.

Was it helpful?

Solution

To get to the aspect of content production:

editors:       Doing some stuff beyond writing: scheduling and managing content
contributors:  Authors with limited rights

OTHER TIPS

Old question, answer already given, but hell, why not?

critic:      can rate and review content, but not create original content
ambassador:  site rep for external communications, has access to site email, PR materials
guest:       duh
emeritus:    retired key users who no longer contribute, but whose contributions are honored
