I would create a new user role, and then assign that role to the user when you create their account. In your functions.php: add_role(‘content_writer’, ‘Content Writer’, array( ‘read’ => true, ‘publish_posts’ => true, ‘edit_posts’ => false, ‘delete_posts’ => false, )); You can see the codex for an additional listing of available roles and capabilities.

get_user_by will get you the user data by ‘id’, ‘slug’, ’email’, or ‘login’. ‘slug’ is the user_nicename. $user = get_user_by(‘slug’,’nicename’); However, I am not sure what you mean by ‘name’. There are other plausible ‘name’ fields, not all of them required. There is the display_name for example. To search fields like user_nicename you will need … Read more
