I've searched around and apparantly I am simply missing something simple as I am unable to find any threads pertaining to my issue.  When I authenticate a new user the default role is Administrator. Obviousily, I don't like this as I would like for the default security role to be Registered User.  What am I missing?

When I try and manage the user's role the change to Registered User won't stick.

This is my first post, and I hope I haven't caused myself to get shunned because of this... Thank you in advance.

It's as if there is a setting that causes all initial security roles for New Users to be set to Administrator but I am unable to manually change them after the fact.

Sorry, to elaborate:  when a new user registers and I activate him the default security role for this user is Administrator. 

So I try and correct this by going to >Admin>User Accounts> then I find the user and Manage Roles for this user and I try to set a new Role effective immediately and Update Info and nothing..

*Granted, I could go >Control Panel>Roles> edit Administrators>Manage Users in this Role but I get the same non-effect.

I've also tried to manually Add a New User via >Control Panel>Users>Add New User... same outcome.

I appreciate your quick response; however, the only box that has that check (Auto) is the Registered User.

I'm stumped myself. 

I am running ver. 4.08.00 if that helps anybody (it was a clean install).
