 * The last couple of days I’ve been busy with WP. Changed the sidebar a little 
   and changed the header. This all went well. I thougth maybe I should must let
   it see to somebody what he thinks of it. So I showed it to a friend. The only
   thing what he saw is that he can access admin just like I do. How can this be
   fixed?

 * He looked on his own machine. Think i’ve got it solved. I think it had to do 
   with his level. He registered and got level 1 and than he will have more options
   if i’m correct. Changed him to level 0 and he had the right access level. I thougth
   site admin was for admins alone, butt the link is for normal user to?

 * Chaaban is correct; anyone who is registered will have access to the admin panel
   and this is intended behaviour. However, functionality is restricted on a user
   level basis so a level 1/0 user won’t be able to, for example, change/edit the
   theme.

 * Well the thing was that he could post story’s and he could change/add catagory’s.
   Is this normal on level 1 access? I’ve changed his account back to level 0 and
   the access to that kind of stuff was gone.
 * I’ve used Xoops the last time for my babelog, butt wanted to change to a less
   complex blogsoftwarethingy. So it’s all new for me.

 * Just registered on your blog and when I log in I get the expected admin panel
   for a Level 0 user.
 * Remember, the User Level assigned to a new user is determined by your setting
   for Newly Registered Members.

 * Thanks for all the reply’s. I think I know how it works now. Only question I 
   still have is about the login. If people login is it normal that they get redirected
   to their profile or can they be redirected to the Frontpage to?

 * If you want user directed to your ‘front’ or home page you could do this:
 * In wp-login.php, line 165, change from:
    $redirect_to = ‘wp-admin/’; To: $redirect_to
   = ‘index.php’;
