They can't create their own blog. You'll need to give each user permission to do whatever you want for each blog (make the blog, click on the blogs tab, select the blog and then click on permissions).

Does anyone know where you can change this message (Since you're a newcomer, you'll have to wait for an admin to authorize you to post.)

inc/control/items/b2edit.php ( approx lines 154 - > 160 )

		if( !$blog )
		{
			$Messages->add( sprintf( T_('Since you\'re a newcomer, you\'ll have to wait for an admin to authorize you to post. 
You can also <a %s>e-mail the admin</a> to ask for a promotion. 
When you\'re promoted, just reload this page and you\'ll be able to blog. :)'),
											'href="mailto:'.$admin_email.'?subject=b2-promotion"' ), 'error' );
			$action = 'nil';
			break;
		}

Cool, thanks Yabba.

Hello,

this is what i am trying to achieve. I am the admin and I have created a blog (MAIN) of my own with categories.

second step: I created a user dummy with permissions of BLOGGER and I want to achieve the following.

The user should not be able to edit or do anything on my blog(MAIN). The user should be able to create his or her own blog.[/list:u] is this possible? Right now when i log in as dummy I get the following message. Since you're a newcomer, you'll have to wait for an admin to authorize you to post. You can also e-mail the admin to ask for a promotion. When you're promoted, just reload this page and you'll be able to blog. :)[/quote] I want to do this too!!! why isn't it possible? www.blogs.se is doing this too!!

Same question, same answer.

Have you guys looked at the [url=http://plugins.b2evolution.net/index.php/2006/08/25/autoblog_plugin_for_1_8]Autoblog plugin[/url]? It allows people to register user accounts and have a blog created for them.
