    You can find this here on the WordPress site.

    From that page:

    Summary of Roles
    Administrator - Somebody who has access to all the administration features
    Editor - Somebody who can publish posts, manage posts as well as manage other people's posts, etc.
    Author - Somebody who can publish and manage their own posts
    Contributor - Somebody who can write and manage their posts but not publish posts
    Subscriber - Somebody who can read comments/comment/receive news letters, etc.

    You'll want to give your users Author privileges.
