    Default new users to limited or no access?

    When we add a new Umbraco user, by default, they have full control of all content nodes.  This is really bad practice.  How can we change this so that a new user has no permissions for any content until we specifically assign permission?

    I agree! It´s bad practice but I think you will have to request that feature for future versions...

    Hi,

    I wrote a usergroup permissions package that set default permissions based on the usergroup. You can give node access to groups instead of individual users, then when you create a new user and assign it to a group it will get the permissions for that group. Using this you can limit the default  permissions.

    Hope it  helps you,

    Richard

    That looks sweet.  I'll have to give it a run and hope it works.  That would be so much easier to manage.

    Richards method is the most robust, but another option is to create a user group that has no permissions by default.  Then you have to assign the user every permission they have.
