Contributors can create and save drafts of posts, but they can’t publish them on their own. A user with a more capable user role, like Editor or Administrator, must publish the posts. They can only view and edit content that they are authors of, meaning that when they’re logged in, they will only be able to see their own posts in the Posts admin page.
