    I have multiple users set as a the contributor user role. I would like to know how the contributor can create new posts so an administrator can review the post and publish. I created a test contributor account but they do not have access to the wp-admin panel. All i would like the contributor is to create posts so an admin can review and publish.

    Any registered user should have some kind of admin access. A contributor by default should be able to create a post and submit it for admin review. If your contributor cannot do so, your theme or a plugin has altered default functionality. Use a roles and capabilities plugin like “Members” to verify your contributor’s capabilities. They should match those listed here. I think the read reusable blocks capability listed there is in error. There’s no such capability for any user on my site. But the rest are certainly required. If any are missing, the plugin will let you assign missing capabilities to the role.

    If your contributor has the right capabilities but still cannot create posts, your theme or a plugin has altered the required capabilities to do something. If you switched to a default twenty* theme and deactivated all plugins, a contributor should be able to create posts as expected. Restore your theme and plugins, one at a time, testing after each. When the problem returns, the last activated is the cause.
