Hi,
I want my new subscribers to have their own blogs, but the problem is that they also get admin rights. Basically everything that the site administrator does, the new subscriber is also able to do, with the exception of installing plugins. How can I restrict new subscribers to do only certain things in their blogs? For instance, to create blogs, and maybe to change their blog theme, among other things.
Thanks,
They get *single-blog* admin, similar to what they would on a regular WP blog.
Have you logged in as a different user, or are you just checking as a site admin? Because you can go anywhere.

Yes, I register myself as a regular user, and then logged in. This is where I noticed that any user that registers and creates a blog through my WPMU site will be able to basically do anything they want, with the exception of installing plugins, unless I enable it globally.
But I guess that’s how it is design to work; can I restrict this as the site owner/administrator? In other words, I would like to give new subscribers rights to what I want. Can I place banners on the blogs that other users create through my WPMU site?
Thanks for your support!
Bu they can only manage everything on their blog and their blog alone.
What is it you don't want them to be able to do? Because it depends.
"Can I place banners on the blogs that other users create through my WPMU site? "
Sure you can - you're the admin, you can do what you like. Hardcode it in the template if you want.

I don't want them to be able to create other users. In addition, I would like to define the categories myself sitewide and then have users blogging based on those categories.

I would like to place different ads on the many blogs, is this possible? is there a plugin to achieve this?
Thanks,
"I don't want them to be able to create other users."
Then disallow it under Site Admin -> Options. It's off by default.
" In addition, I would like to define the categories myself sitewide and then have users blogging based on those categories."
You'll need to do some fancy coding then or find a plugin. There might be one over at wpmudev.org.

Not wanting users to change the template is a big one, if you want a site wide consistent blog layout. ( home page and user pages )
Well.... if you only enable one theme, and there's only one theme to "pick" from, they can't exactly change it can they?

My issue is similar - I want new users to get a blog at "mywebsite.com/username" when they sign up, and not be able to create more blogs (thus hogging up all the usernames).
