Once your website gets off its feet you will likely need to add more users in your wordpress backend. This allows you to give people a dashboard login to your site with specific abilities. This way you can get other people working on your site without compromising your security.

You would typically need this if you want someone to be able to write for your website. This is a great option if you want to turn it into a website with multiple authors, and you can even set their users up so you have to approve their posts.

When u want somebody on fiverr to do onpage seo for your website - what role should we assign to him - subscriber, editor, author or administrator?

On-site SEO implies that they will be making content changes to your pages and posts. I would give them editor auth.

I would give them editor. However, make sure you back up your site and make sure they're trustworthy because that gives them the power to edit your posts.
