User Role

If you want to handle your website from different users then you should go for user role concept. Role is a function, which is declared for users. According to Drupal CMS

Roles allow you to fine tune the security and administration of Drupal. A role defines a group of users that have certain privileges as defined on the permissions page. Examples of roles include: anonymous user, authenticated user, moderator, administrator and so on. In this area you will define the names and order of the roles on your site. It is recommended to order your roles from least permissive (anonymous user) to most permissive (administrator). To delete a role choose "edit role".
By default, Drupal comes with two user roles:
•Anonymous user: this role is used for users that don't have a user account or that are not authenticated.
