Description
Problem
When new users are created, they don't have any permissions by default and have to be manually assigned roles in order to be able to do anything in the system.
Solution
A couple of solutions come to mind for this:
-
Default role: Create a special role that is automatically assigned to each new user. By default, this role would have no permissions. Pulp admins would be able to define the permissions included in this role which would allow them to define what level of access new users should have without having to manually assign roles to each new user.
-
Default group: Same idea as the default role, except create a special group that all users are automatically added to. Pulp admins can grant new users a default set of roles by adding new roles to this group.

Research direction
The issue names no files, tests, or entry points. Start by comparing the proposed default-role and default-group approaches with pulpcore's user, role, and group behavior. Done means selecting an approach, defining the default access behavior for newly created users, and covering the result with tests.
