    This filter allows you to set subscribers as authors of blog posts within the admin without giving them additional privileges. Here’s the code:

    add_filter( 'wp_dropdown_users_args', 'add_subscribers_to_dropdown', 10, 2 );
    function add_subscribers_to_dropdown( $query_args, $r ) {
    
        $query_args['who'] = '';
        return $query_args;
    
    }
    
  2. Skip to note 2 content

    In addition to Jonathan’s contribution, you can also expand it further by specifying the role. This is undocumented on wp codex. But does work e.g.

    function wpdocs_add_subscribers_to_dropdown( $query_args, $r ) {
     
    	$query_args['role'] = array('contributor');
    
    	// Unset the 'who' as this defaults to the 'author' role
    	unset( $query_args['who'] );
    
    	return $query_args;
    }
    add_filter( 'wp_dropdown_users_args', 'wpdocs_add_subscribers_to_dropdown', 10, 2 );
