would like to restrict the Section Editors and Copy Editors roles from posting
comments on that site. I can find no way to do this, since these users are also
a member of Authenticated Users which includes a broader base of users who
should have the ability of posting comments…other than creating a new role for
regular users (which I am unsure how to make this the default role for new
users), is there a way to restrict the Section Editors and Copy Editors from
posting comments?<o:p></o:p></p>
