<p>User accounts let you control who can access the Web site. In most cases, you'll want to
assign a username and password to each person who works with your Web site.</p>
<p>User roles are assigned to accounts, and determine the types of access that
users are allowed when using the Web site. For example, if you
have a group of users who will view site content and make changes,
you can assign them to the Author role. This role is created by default. As a site
administrator, you can modify
the <a href="fpaGloss.htm#rights" class="glossterm">access rights</a> for the default roles or create new roles.</p>
<p>You can assign a user to more than one role. However, if you're using the default user roles, you need only select one role for the
user account. Each default role has all of the rights of those lower on the list plus
additional rights. For example, an author
has browser rights in
addition to the right to author pages.</p>
