  Note: translationId is only returned in a draft post object if the Multilingual app is installed.

Blog roles

Collaborators can create and manage blogs based on certain roles:

• Blog editors can fully manage the blog, but not other areas of a site.
• Blog writers can create and publish their own posts on a blog.
• Guest writers can create posts, but can't publish them.
