[support] Site queue for users

[Jean Gazis]

I think it was discussed earlier here that you can't give different roles
different *default* settings for each content type, but you can give users
access by role to view and publish content. The Mercer book has a pretty
good overview of user permissions. I'm sure there is more info in the
Drupal.org Handbook.

You need to go into User Management and first create the roles you want.
When I am setting up sites for other people, I typically have a role for
webmaster (me), another for site owner, and so on. For my scout troop site
there is webmaster, scout leader, and scout member. Then you can go into the
User Management/Access Control screen and check off the permissions for each
role.

You may want to go to User Settings and make it so new registrations need
admin approval.
