WordPress administrators receive full MyDriveCloud access by default. Editors, authors, and subscribers start with the MyDriveCloud Client role. Administrators can see and manage every item; other users see their own items and items explicitly shared with them.
In MyDriveCloud > Clients & Access, administrators can create custom MyDriveCloud roles and choose portal access, upload, sharing, client administration and all-files permissions. Every account can be assigned Administrator, Client or a custom role. These roles change only MyDriveCloud capabilities and do not promote a user to a WordPress role.
