WordPress comes with the ability to add multiple admin users. These users can access your website Admin Area (Back-end) and update your website content, e.g. add Page, delete Posts, change Menus, etc.
To help manage your Users, WordPress has several Levels of Access called Roles.
Subscribers can only manage their own profile. They cannot edit or contribute to the site.
Contributors can create posts, but it’s up to higher roles to publish or delete them.
Authors can create and delete only their own posts. They can’t make or modify pages at all.
Access to everything you need to handle the day-to-day tasks of adding/editing/deleting content. Editor is a trusted role. It gives people the ability to upload and manage all posts and pages on a site.
The top level of access. Can change everything on the website. Usually reserved for technical staff or your web developer. Not to be given away lightly, the admin role enables control over your entire site. Admins can delete posts and pages, activate plugins, and do other vital tasks. If you’re not using multisite, admins can also install plugins or even delete everything.
Some WordPress Plugins may add additional Roles.

For an SEO editor, the redirect manager shows up in the WordPress sidebar menu, even if the Yoast SEO menu is hidden by default. How cool is that?!
