Answer 3

You can delete WordPress Default User Roles and create your own.

From your WordPress Admin Panel. Navigate to:

Appearance > Editor > (Choose Your Theme) > Theme functions

add_role('newbie', __(
 'Newbie'),
 array(
 'read' => true, // Allows user to read
 'create_posts' => true, // Allows user to create new posts
 'edit_posts' => true, // Allows user to edit their own posts
 )
);

Answer 4

You can use add role function like

<?php add_role( $role, $display_name, $capabilities ); ?>

Example

add_role('basic_contributor', 'Basic Contributor', array(
    'read' => true, // True allows that capability
    'edit_posts' => true,
    'delete_posts' => false, // Use false to explicitly deny
));
