How do I change the default "privilege level" for new users created in the CMS? Currently it defaults to "Editor" I would like it to default to "None".

Hello Nathan,

You need to edit the aspx file, there's not alternative form or something in UI.

You need to edit file: ~/CMSModules/Membership/Pages/Users/user_new.aspx.cs

In function Page_Load you can find following line (in 8.2.36 is line 68):

drpPrivilegeLevel.Value = (int)UserPrivilegeLevelEnum.Editor;

then you can change to your needs

drpPrivilegeLevel.Value = (int)UserPrivilegeLevelEnum.None;

Be careful beacuse your change could be modyfied by hotfix or certainly by upgrade.
