Roles
• Categories for authenticated users
• No limitations on the number of roles you set
• No limitations on the naming you give
• Any authenticated user of your website may be assigned to none, one, or more than one role

2 main types of roles
• Anonymous users
– Do not enter credentials to enter the website
• Authenticated users
– Enter user ID and password to access more functionalities or content

Permissions
• Permissions in Drupal are a mechanism for controlling what a user assigned to a specific role can do.
• There are dozens of permissions – be careful!
• Examples:
– Create a page
– Edit/edit own page, etc

User accounts
• All Drupal websites have at least one user account: the system administrator
• 3 ways to work out new accounts:
– Users create their new accounts with no administrator moderation
– Users create their new accounts, but administrator approval is needed
– Only administrator can create new accounts

Account settings
• Make sure you review Account settings page on every new Drupal website you make
• URL: ../admin/config/people/accounts
• For our case, let’s change the “Who can register accounts?” option to “Administrators only”
