Make the default permission authenticated users can view and cancel

Problem/Motivation

When a user enables the module and tries to use it by creating a poll, the immediate experience after creating the first poll and attempting to test it (in another user account) is 'this is not working'. This is because the default permissions enable viewing ht poll for only administrators.

In order to test the poll the administrator must add authenticated users on the permissions page. This is far from intuitive.

Proposed resolution

Authenticated users should have the ability to view polls by default.

If the goal is to have polls that are not published then the entity should include published and unpublished states, this should not be done with permissions.

Remaining tasks

Write patch

User interface changes

Authenticated users should be able to see polls.

    @Berdir, I think we can make a quick decision here. "Make" or close the issue :)

    Personally I would not do this. If we follow the principle of least privilege (POLP) this should be done manually by the developer/site builder.

    What we can do is display a message on module install with a link to the permission page (you can filter on module normally)

    Actually a message is already being shown upon module install.

    Module Poll has been enabled. Configure related permissions.
