So for example in WordPress an administrator has the control to change what other users have access to in the admin panel, whether it be just adding and deleting their own posts to deleting other users posts. Below is a more detailed breakdown of the different user roles and what they allow/limit the user accessing and changing.
Quick Note: The listing below is best viewed in landscape mode on a mobile due to the font size.
