to make happen automatically, make changes in /com_registration/registration.php and
/com_comprofiler/comprofiler.php (if use community builder)

about half way down file, for:

code: select all

$row->gid = $acl->get_group_id('registered','aro');

and replace registered author

to update existing user, use phpmyadmin run following queries (use @ own risk):

code: select all

update `jos_users` set gid = '19' gid = '18'

code: select all

update `jos_core_acl_groups_aro_map` set group_id = '19' group_id = '18'

18 registered, 19 author - can find browsing table jos_core_acl_aro_groups

to automatically publish front page:
components/com_content/content.php
 
change

code: select all

$row->frontpage         = 0;

with:

code: select all

$row->frontpage         = 1;

to avoid of these core hacks difficult maintain when updating core, might consider implmenting ja submit:
