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 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.
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.
Default new users to limited or no access?

I agree! It´s bad practice but I think you will have to request that feature for future versions...
Please help me vote it up!

Hope it helps you,

That looks sweet. I'll have to give it a run and hope it works. That would be so much easier to manage.
That's umbraco, always a package or a friendly community meber to help you :)
