User roles simplify the IT manager’s job, since they apply permissions to groups of users, rather than individuals. Many Content Management Systems come with a set of built-in user roles.

Content Editor

Content Editors handle the day-to-day management and upkeep of a site’s content. They optimize content on existing pages or create new pages to meet business needs. Their content updates may go through a workflow process, where it’s reviewed by a Content Manager before being pushed live to the site.

Content Manager

Content Managers have more privileges than Content Editors. Typically, Content Managers can create, copy and delete pages. They approve content updates submitted by Content Editors. In addition, they can directly publish updates to a page without requiring a review by an approver.
