Overview
By default, WordPress roles give site administrators the ability to control what users can and cannot do (permissions) within the site. A site administrator can manage access to such tasks as writing and editing content, creating pages, editing site settings, and managing other users, by assigning a specific role to each user.
The FAA multisite system is customized slightly from default WordPress roles.
