In some environments, every user that is created needs to be associated with a specific role. Instead of manually associating the role to every user by editing them after the user is created, there is a set of portal.properties that we can set so that all users created in the portal will have the specific role.

Resolution

This is the default configuration for 6.1, but you can add in additional role names through setting this property.
 
#
# Input a list of default role names separated by \n characters that are
# associated with newly created users.
#
admin.default.role.names=Power User\nUser
