KB Roles:
Within a KB Group, each user has one of the following KB Roles. The KB Manager role is not specific to any KB Group.
- KB Subscriber
- This is the lowest role with the fewest privileges.
- Users can read content his/her group has access to but cannot change any KB content.
- KB Author
- This is similar to the WordPress Author role.
- The user can create and edit their articles but not create or edit categories or edit others’ articles.
- KB Editor
- This role is similar to the WordPress Editor role.
- The user can create, edit, and delete any article that has at least one category that the user group owns.
- The user can create, edit, and delete any category that his or her group owns.
- KB Manager
- The user in this role is considered to be an “administrator” for a given knowledge base.
- For multiple Knowledge Bases, the manager controls all of them.
- Unlike WordPress administrator, the KB Manager cannot access KB licenses.

If you also purchase Custom Roles add-on (optional) you will be able to map WordPress custom roles to KB Groups and roles.
