New issue 142 by djreimer: Users with no role get redirected to front end
without any admin access
http://code.google.com/p/wolfcms/issues/detail?id=142

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Create new user, but do not check one of the "role" boxes.
2. Login as new user.
3. Get redirected to homepage, with no access to the admin at all.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

Expect to get some access to the backend, since the new-user-creation does
not seem to *require* one of the role boxes to be ticked.

Either we need to make "editor" a minimal requirement by default, or give a
"no role" user access to "Pages" tab only. Or something!

Please provide additional information.

I can't replicate this.

If a user has been added with NO role, they should not be allowed access to
the admin panel on any level (including editor).

The assumption this change would make is that login will only be used for
admin purposes which simply isn't correct. By making someone
with no permission have some permission would be a major security risk...
