When a user is created they are made a member of the group "Domain Users". This is made their "primary" group. The user has permissions to view/read all objects in Active Directory.

The best tool is Active Directory Users and Computers (ADUC). This is available on any domain controller or any client with RSAT. When you view the properties of a user you can view all group memberships. The "Security" tab shows permissions.
And the Get-ADPrincipalGroupMembership PowerShell AD cmdlet will retrieve all group memberships of a user:

Edit: Here is a VBScript program to output security permissions for a specified user:

If you want to change the default permissions, group memberships, etc. you need to adjust your provisioning procedures. Lots of ways to do that. Either create user templates to copy and modify them. Or you can user automation tools that allow to you finely tune which user gets what after account creation. Here's an example:
