As soon as you login to your wordpress account first thing as an administrator of the blog you will notice you will get around eight panels ( current wordpress displays eight panels) and they are as follows.
1. Right Now
2. Recent Comments
3. Incoming Links
4. Plugins
5. Quickpress
6. Recent Drafts
7. WordPress Development Blog

Now we will look in to what details does each panel provides us with.
Whatever may be the reason for you to get rid of a particular user, but you can easily delete single or multiple users in wordpress under a minute and here is how you can do it easily.
Step 1:
Choose “Authors & Users” under Users options
Step 2:
point to the user you want to delete and you will get an option underneath the username as delete so click on delete.
Step 3:
After you click on delete wordpress gives you an option whether to attribute all the posts made by the user to someone else or to delete those posts, so you can select whatever you want to do and confirm deletion.
There are times when you may want to change the user roles in wordpress, just in case if you want to promote your writer to a editor position or you want to take away the author role of your writer or whatever may be your need you can change the roles of users of wordpress and here is the easy way how you can accomplish that.
Just go to “add new user” option under users in your admin panel.
Once you get there you can see the list of all users who have registered in your blog.
You can choose the user whom you can to change the role and then just above the list you can see a drop down menu with “change role to” get there and choose the role you want to assign to that user and click on change and you are done. as somple as that.
You can allow users to register themselves in wordpress and assign them a default role as soon as the they register but by default this is turned off in wordpress to enable this option you need to go to general section under settings options.
Its necessary that you understand the roles of different user groups in wordpress better and its really basic. By default wordpress comes with five user groups or roles that you can assign to your users or staffs or the person whom you have hired to produce contents for your blog. You can check out these roles when you get in to “add new” under users options in your admin panel.
So lets go through what powers these user groups have in wordpress.
There may be occasions where you want to hire some writer to do the content part for your blog and you cannot just straight away hand over your account details to him, its like handing over your car key to some stranger and asking him to Drive away your car. So you need to create a user account where he will only have access to write contents and edit his contents so today we will see how you can accomplish that.
To the left of your wordpress admin panel look for the option called “users” and expand it if its not already in the expanded mode and click on “add new” option.
Its a general tendency that as soon as you install the wordpress we tend to use the same name and password which was given to us while we go through the installation process and the reason is quite simple we are lazy to change that name and password.
But really its a best practice to change your password because its really hard to memorize your default wordpress admin password given to you that was randomly generated by the system so to change the password get to the users section in your admin panel and click on “your profile option” so as soon you get there you will get a screen similar to the one you see below.
