# Unauthorized Users Can Post

 * I just installed WP. In the Options/General section, I did NOT select the option
   to let any registered users write posts. However, it so happens that my users
   CAN write posts. I definitely do not want this. How do I fix the situation so
   that readers have no authority to do that? Is this a known issue? It may have
   been asked before, I just haven’t found the answer. Does this have anything to
   do with the view level I assign to a user? My understanding is that setting a
   user’s level of reading does not give them writing authority. Please help! Thanks.

 * Are you talking about comments, or actual blog posts? A link to your blog would
   be nice too.
