# Adding a “Comment moderator” role.

 * Greetings,
    I’m running a soccer team website and I’m allowing comments on the
   news (posts). All comments are moderated. Everybody who registers is a “Subscriber”
   with default access only to read.
 * **MY TARGET**: What I want is to change some of the users to comment moderators–
   giving them additional access to moderate all pending comments, nothing else.
 * **THE PROBLEM**: The first role that allow comment moderation is “Editor” and
   it allows Page & Post creation/editing/deleting. I want comment moderators to
   have access ONLY to the pending comments, nothing else.
 * **WHAT I TRIED**: I used plugins like “Capabilities Manager” and “Role Manager”
   to create new Role with access to “Read” and “Moderate Comments” but it’s not
   working because users don’t have access to “Edit Posts”, “Delete Posts”, “Edit
   Others Posts”, “Edit Published Posts”.
 * So I need help here. Please advise me how to allow some Subscribers to moderate
   all pending comments? Or how to create a role with access only to read and moderate
   all pending comments?
 * Looking forward to your solution!
    Thanks!
