# Adding Users

To add new users of the back end of your Research AMP site, go to Dashboard > Users > Add New. Fill in their information, assign their role, and send them a notification. You may edit the users and ascribe them new roles in the Users section of the dashboard. 

You are likely to need a couple of users with full administrator privileges, which allow them to  install WordPress plugins, change themes, delete content, and add or delete other users. 

An editor can add, edit, publish, and delete their own and others' WordPress posts, but cannot access admin features. 

Authors can add, edit, and publish their own posts, while contributors can edit their posts but not publish them. The subscriber role is not supported by Research AMP.
