Hi folks,

for my site I like to have one more author with less permissions. How can I add a
new user that is only permitted to edit page and story content? I was searching here
in the forum, but I didn't find something useful, though I know that this seems to be easy.

A good tutorial/screencast about this topic and/or user management would be helpful.
...

Thanks a lot for any replies!

create a new role in adminsiter -> roles
add the users you want to this new role in adminster -> users
then add the permissions you want to this role in administer -> access control

Create a role!

First, create a new role. This role will eventually give access to edit 'page' and 'story' content types.
Go to Home > Administer > User Management or yourdomain.com/admin/user/roles

Give it name, 'Editor' or something similar and click "Add role". On the same page, click on "edit role" beside the role name you just created. Here we'll give access permissions. Scroll down to 'Node Module', in that list check off "edit page content" and "edit story content". That is all.

Add your user!

Next, add your new user by going to Home > Administer > User Management - or yourdomain.com/admin/user/user/create

Fill in:
Username, email address, password, and check off the Role name you just created. Click on "Create new account".

Keep in mind, the users who use this role will not be able to create 'page' or 'story' content types, but instead only edit them.
