Roles assigned to Registration 

I'm building my first dotnetnuke site and I am trying to figure out how the registration works.  Currently, it assigns the security role of "administrator" for users who sign up.  But I want it to assign the role of "registered user" (for forum users).  Is there a way to configure what role the registration form will assign?

thanks,
Greg

Re: Roles assigned to Registration 

If you check your roles under the Admin menu, have you set the Administrator role to"Auto-assigned"? That would do that.. and it's highly undesirable... so undo it again.

Create a role called "Forum Member" and auto-assign that instead. Configure your forum module to allow that role to create posts.

The main role that is always auto-assigned in "Registered Users". you should leave that as it is. "Subscribers" is also usually auto-assigend by default and that is handy of you are planning to have newsletters.

Re: Roles assigned to Registration 

Robax, thanks for your reply.  I tried your suggestion and I went into the "Security Roles" page and the "Administrators" role had the "Auto" checkbox unchecked.  I figured I might have unchecked this after registering, when messing with some settings, so I created the "Forum Member" role as you suggested and checked the auto-assigned option.   As you said, the "Registered Users" role already had the "Auto" field checked, and this could not be undone. 

So, I tried registering again, and once I signed up, it automatically logged me in as the new user with Administrator privelages.   I logged out, and logged back in with the host account and clicked the "User Accounts" page in the "Admin" section.   I then clicked the "Edit" icon next to the newly registered user, and clicked on "Manage Roles For This User".   The security role dropdown was set to "Administrator".

Is there any other setting that could automatically register a new user as an administrator?  I removed the "Subscribers" role after I first installed DotNetNuke.  Could this affect anything?

Any help is much appreciated.

thanks!
Greg
