Is there a way to set the "default" access level for new elements

[bggann]

I'm creating a new system where I would like the access level for all elements to be "registered". However, when you create an element, the default access level is "public". I do set access for the groups/lists to registered, but for some reason this bugs me - I don't know if it is a security hole or not.

Is there any way to configure/change that?
I searched and saw a few very old forum posts about this - but nothing definitive.

You're worrying too much You don't need to change the access for every element. When the access is set in list settings, list/form query is not made when the user is not properly authorized. So there's no access also to individual elements.

I have users that worry too much - they see "public" and panic. But I understand. Unfortunately, I work with paranoid IT security people.
