Note: this user type is only available on "Scaling" plans.

With the new “contributor” user type, you’ll be able to set more granular permissions with your team. Contributors can create and edit content, but can’t do account level things like, creating/editing categories, inviting users, or changing permissions. You can start inviting users as contributors or switching existing users over now.

As part of this change, we’re also renaming the “user” user type to “editor” to make the different types more clear. All existing “user” type users will be converted to “editors” and will retain all the same permissions. There’s no change you have to make on your end.
