Just a tip. I’m always a fan of removing the seemingly number of strange and superfluous groups in an standard SharePoint installation. One caveat with this is that if you remove the “Restricted Readers” group all users that are NOT Site Collection administrators that have the ability to create pages will see the create page button under site action but then get an Unknown Error.
The cryptic reason is that the Restricted Readers group includes everyone and this group has access to the Master Page gallery which allows users to view Master Pages. When you remove the group for some reason (and if anyone has the definitive answer please tell me) user can still view Master Pages but when they go to createPage.aspx
So be careful and when this happens check that your users have access to the Master Page gallery.

I am still a dummy on this SharePoint. I just installed my SharePoint server 2010 and I don’t have broad knowledge about it yet. I read your post and things make me confuse. What is that? I meant what you meant by restricted reader group? Can I suggest for a tutorial or step by step on how to do it? It seems like very helpful to keep the privacy of my site. It just happens that I want to put some restriction page to my site for my students. If you don’t mind? Thanks!
