User roles: a way of defining the permissions and access levels for different types of users on the news portal. User roles can include Admin, Editor, Reporter, Subscriber, Guest, etc. User roles can determine what actions the users can perform on the news portal, such as creating, editing, deleting, viewing, commenting, liking, sharing, etc. the news content.
Support forms: a way of collecting feedback, queries, complaints, and suggestions from the users on the news portal. Support forms can help the users to contact the news portal’s team and get assistance or information. Support forms can also help the news portal’s team to improve their service and quality.
