Hey everyone,
I am a bit confused, I've been using wordpress for years now and have recently setup a new wordpress site for a friend. I am trying to set the user roles (Ie admin can do AB&C, subscriber can only do A&B) but can't find the role manager anywere.
Can anyone help?
that is a plugin
this one is updated

This allows me to set permissions by 'post' or 'page' but doesn't appear to allow me to change the role functions of users?
I want to be able to say:
Subscribers can only read the information.
Authors can read and write.
Admins can do everything.
Additionally I would like to be able to add more roles and set the different permissions for these seperately.

Isn't that what WordPress does natively?

That's the point though, I can't find that function now since installing 2.8.5, the option for 'Role Manager' (or whatever it used to be) now appears to be missing, or moved somewhere else and I can't find it.
it's under the user profiles

Under 'Users' I have:
'Authors & Users' - See each user and changed the role assigned
'Add New' - Manually add a new user
'Your Profile' - Change your own profile
'Groups' - I installed the suggested plugin
None of these option allow me to change what functions are applied to each Role though.

Found what I needed:

And a more advanced version (which I don't need but perhaps someone else will enjoy):

Thanks for the help.
I'd use that last link http://www.im-web-gefunden.de/wordpress-plugins/role-manager/
Not sure that Owen has kept the original Role Manager up to date.
