[Using Sakai] Enabling a user of type 'lecturer' to be able to create a new site

[Matthew Jones]

If you're on 2.9 or 10, there are specific site add permissions for the
ootb site types. site.add.project, site.add.course, site.add.portfolio.
You'd just create a !user.template.<type>and give only give them the
specific permission you want. I believe that site.add gives them everything.

In your case there is already a !user.template.guest which only has
permission to site.add.usersite (which allows them to create their my
workspace), so you'd just add site.add.project permission to this realm.

If you went and modified your system to actually add types other than
project/course, there is no specific protection for that and you'd have to
do a little code modification like in
https://jira.sakaiproject.org/browse/KNL-952
