default role

Posted by shab_la2ta on February 3, 2008 at 9:56pm

hello guys, I have a problem with user creation. When the administrator creates a user , he can specifies the role of that user. but, when a user creates an account, how can I define the default role that the user will have upon creation.

Thanks

I did this, but any logged in user is considered an authenticated user thus administrator role is also an authenticated one.

Thanks
