# Roles and Capabilities

WordPress has six pre-defined roles: [Super Admin](https://wordpress.org/support/article/roles-and-capabilities/#super-admin), [Administrator](https://wordpress.org/documentation/article/roles-and-capabilities/#administrator), [Editor](https://wordpress.org/documentation/article/roles-and-capabilities/#editor), [Author](https://wordpress.org/documentation/article/roles-and-capabilities/#author), [Contributor](https://wordpress.org/documentation/article/roles-and-capabilities/#contributor) and [Subscriber](https://wordpress.org/documentation/article/roles-and-capabilities/#subscriber). Each role is allowed to perform a set of tasks called [Capabilities](https://wordpress.org/support/article/glossary/#capabilities).
