Simplify first channel creation even further by using a site-configurable default permissions role and removing one more conceptual roadblock for first time registrants. This default role only applies to the first channel an account creates and can be changed from the settings page once they've started to explore. This functionality was always present but optional and not well exposed. Now it is part of the standard workflow and exposed in the admin settings.
