Wordpress can do roles for sure - admin, author, editor, etc... You can look at something like this - https://wordpress.org/plugins/user-role-editor/ https://wordpress.org/plugins/user-role-editor/ - if you don't want to try to build it yourself. There are many ways to use Wordpress without rolling your own servers; can configure a Digital Ocean droplet with WP pre-installed; use wordpress.com, even AWS has a Wordpress autoscale template. My concerns with using WP is always what comes down the line. Once your stuck inside a box, sometimes it's hard to get out of it or change the box into something else. You can change WP all you want with custom plugins, custom functions, etc... but at what point do you say, this would be easier with something custom then to try to make WP do what you want. Plus - WP has a colorful security history. Google Wordpress security updates and such and you'll get very mixed reviews on if you should use it for anything security sensitive.
