How do I manage users on my site as a site administrator?

There are five roles that you can assign to people who you want to blog with: Subscriber, Contributor, Editor, Author, or Administrator.

Important:

• Please be careful of the roles you give users on your site. If you add a user as an administrator, you are granting them full access. This means that she/he will be able to delete pages, posts, themes, etc…

What does each of the user groups have access too?
