This is a new umbraco installation. Everything seems to work fine when I am logged in as Administrator. However, when I create a new user and then log in as that user, I get an error displaying the left hand side "Content" pane:

The current user doesn't have access to this application. Please contact the system administrator.(full text of error displayed at bottom of this message) [1]. I have looked at my security settings on the server and they all seem to be fine. I have tried adjusting them slightly (adding additional permissions and privelages) and have not seen any difference. My IIS server is configured to use the default IUSR to log in and I have given that user permissions.

Is Umbraco trying to do some sort of user impersonation? Does it expect there to be an AD or Machine user with the same login name as the new user? (By coincidence, there is one in this case, but it is only a coincidence).

I have not tried using FileMon yet to see what access is failing. That will be my next step, I suppose. Again, this works just fine when logged in as admin.

I have tried this in both IE7 and FF2. I have tried it both on my client machine and on the server. The same message is displayed in all cases.

Thanks, Doug! That's twice you've helped me out. :-)

It was not immediately apparent that the listbox down there was something I had to select items from. I thought it was telling me that these were the roles the user already had.

I just got the same issue on 3.0.6. Error handling anyone???? Any client seeing that as an error message, just because they had not checked a checkbox when adding a user, wouldn't think very much of the CMS!
