Creating MySite with limitted permissions
Good morning.
When MySite is created I want it created with limitted access. Specifically I would like MySite to be created by default without the "SITE SETTINGS" under the "ACTIONS" dropdown.
Right now when MySite is created the very first time it creates too much many rights. Once the MySite is created the user can go to
Actions >> Site Settings and from this point the user can do just about anything.
So the question is, how can I create MySite with limitted permissions by default? Specifically I do not want them to have access to the
Users and Permissions and Galleries
under the found under the Actions Site Setting. Can this be done using the User Permissions for Web Application ?
Permission Levels
Thanks for your help.

My Site actually contains many site collections in the same web application: a ‘/’ public site collection where the Person.aspx page (click the My Profile tab to see this) is stored, and one private site collection (created form the SPSPERS site template) for each user of your server farm. See http://blogs.msdn.com/markarend/archive/2008/02/22/mysite-pages-and-architecture.aspx for detail.
You can set the user permission for the ‘/’ site collection in the site setting directly.
Every user can see the “site settings” in his private my site collection (click the my home tab in my site) because he is set as the only site collection administrator by default. You can change the site collection administrator for each private mysite collection one-by-one in Central Administration > Application Management > Site Collection Owners . If you would like to customize this default setting, please refer to http://blogs.msdn.com/markarend/archive/2008/04/10/modifying-mysite-owner-security.aspx
