A "Role" in Plone is a collection of specific permissions. There are default roles in Plone (ie Member, Reviewer, Manager), each with a different set of specific permissions, such as the ability to delete content, add users, or publish pages.

Member
A Member in the context of Plone refers to a user that has a login to the website, but does not have all the abilities of a Manager, Owner, or Reviewer. Usually the member role is for users that are supposed to have access to only a part of the site such as a Board or Trustees section. <br><br> The term member may be the source of confusion since many organizations have, "members" which is to say, supporters. Just keep in mind that the role of member in Plone, is not necessarily the same as one who has a <i>membership</i> to your organization.<br>
Reviewer Role
A reviewer has more permissions than a member but less than a manager. Reviewers can edit, review, and/or publish designated content created by a member; they cannot change the member’s personal or group folder configuration or alter a member’s user account. Those functions are available to someone with a Manager role.
