Hi Guys,

I'm trying to set up my Drupal blog so that new users only have permission to comment and rate content. I've set up those permissions under a new role which is great, but I've just tested signing in as a new user and it registers me as a authentic user instead of a limited-permission user....I've tried looking but can't see to find how to set it up....

Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Kind Regards
Dario

Hi,

Logged in users are called Authenticated users by default in Drupal.
You need to set appropriate permissions for them.
You can create other roles also, along with required permissions.

Good luck.

Hi Profjk,

Ah, so if I get what your saying, I need to remove all permissions for the authenticated user and basically create two users, Admin (me) and New users with limited permissions?

Kind Regards,

when a user registers that use is added to the authenticated user role, permissions for the most part start there.

There are modules that allow you to elevate users, to new roles which would elevate their permissions but for the most part you work from least to most relative to user role.

Hi Dario,
For authenticated users (let your users be called that, which drupal does by default) set only required permissions (limited permissions as you call it). And you as admin have all the permissions.

Regards and good luck.

LoginToboggan will let you set any new users to a specific roll at time of registration.
It's also very easy to use.
