The Blogspot blog owner has the ability to invite new blog authors. The blog owner is also called a blog administrator. It is possible to invite more than one author at a time. After accepting the invitation via email confirmation by the author, the blog admin can set the individual author as an admin with the same permission. It is advised to make admin only to a trusted person. Admin has the right to delete the blog and blog posts.

Only blog admin has the right to delete other author’s posts or have all rights related to published, scheduled, or drafted posts. Only blog admin can modify blog settings and templates.
