Actually, what you ask for IS the default behavior. However, default permissions for Joomla are such that new users are assigned to Registered user group, which in turn is not allowed to submit content (from front-end or otherwise).
You have 2 options.
You have 2 options.
- Create a new user group and grant it a Create and Edit Own rights, and set that new users are assigned to that group during registration (in Global Configuration). Also assign existing users to that group. As a variant, you can just use one of the existing groups - Author, Editor, Publisher, which means you have to assign all users to that group (in Global Configuration for the new users, and in User Manager for the existing once). I Hope you understand the rights and privileges those groups have.
- You can change the rights and privileges of the Registered group, by I highly recommend: DO NOT MESS WITH DEFAULT REGISTERED GROUP RIGHTS AND PRIVILEGES.
