# Customize user level permissions?

 * Hello!
    I am getting my worpress set up and I would like to be able to have more
   customized user level permissions. Mainly, I want to be able to have some user
   allowed to delete and edit posts without giving them admin rights. Is there a
   way to modify the user level settings so that I can specify exactly what I want
   a certain level user to have access to? That would be great! Thanks! PS. I have
   managed to get another photo gallery option working and I was wondering how/where
   I should share this for others to use/modify?

   User level permissions are coded well into wp, so altering them would not be 
   an easy task.

 * thanks for the link podz!
    i read the first line and realized that i do not need
   to modify the user level permissions! you see, i am very new here and i had posted
   under an admin, level 10, user and then was trying to see if i could have lower
   level users delete posts…and of course they could not delete mine because i was
   above their level…but i made some assumption that only admin level 10 users could
   delete/edit posts… i just jumped the gun before i understood the level system!
   so thanks again, you saved me much time trying to figure out how to do something
   that i did not even need to do!! 🙂
