I am looking to setup a membership on my site and in testing I see that when a user registers, which they are put in the registered users group they for some reason have instant access to write a blog post? First off why is this even a default option and what do I need to do to disable this weird feature?

I have went into the Global Configuration and down to EasyBlog and it is showing registered users do not have permissions. Yet in the EasyBlog Authors section of the component that is not the case and I have registered users listed as authors. I dont want any of these registered users to have permission to write on my blog but setting up Joomla ACL is by itself over the top complicated and from what I am reading in the EasyBlog documentation you guys are not making it any easier to get to grips with...
Hi Kevin,

Have you checked EasyBlog's ACL section? You can remove the blog post creation permission for Joomla user groups there(http://take.ms/XnQmg).

When you disable this ACL permission for the corresponding user group, the users under that user group will not appear under the authors listing.

If this does not work, can you help me update your site access on file so I can help you check this?

Thanks, yes I was looking in the wrong place for the settings.

Something to consider would be to not have this setup for everyone but guests to be able to post out of the box. Seems rather off to me that it would be configured like this by default. When was the last time you ever seen anyone build a blog site and wanted everyone to have permission to blog???

You're most welcome Kevin.

For fresh installation, by default EasyBlog's ACL does not allow users to publish posts even if they have permission to write it: http://take.ms/HPnwS
