Question regarding Additional Editors - [Solved]

Is there a way to delete 'additional editors' for pages?  I'm trying to restrict what certain users are able to edit, but it seems like new users are automatically able to edit pages, but not all of them.

I guess I'm a bit confused what the best way to approach this it (yes I've check the wiki - I'm just confused).

Running 1.6.5

What permissions do you have set for the user's group in the Group Permissions?

I actually created a new group and only assigned these.

Modify News

Do you have anything ticked in "Page Defaults" by any chance, as there are the settings that are pulled in a new page.

Under Page Defaults...
The only check boxes I have enabled are 'active', 'cachable', 'This page is searchable'.  Of course the only other box is 'show in menu'.

Below I do have the box of 'Additional Editors'.

I feel like I'm missing something...could there be something that didn't get installed?

On a side note, a new baby in the house suddenly makes troubleshooting difficult  :)

Hi Ronny,

Thanks for taking the time to try to help me with this.  Basically it boils down to me not understanding how things worked with the additional editors.  The additional editors portion of the page seems a little confusing to me still...I'm not sure if there is any other way to present it or perhaps I'm the only one that struggled with it.

The bottom line is I just wasn't understanding it.  I scrapped the initial users, created a very limited group, recreated the users, and then assigned each user a specific page or pages as owners.  That seemed to take care of my issues.

Thanks again for the help.
