How can I make users edit specific pages.
There are 4 users.
Admin Editor Artist Editor Newsletter Editor
When an Artist Editor creates a page, everyone is able to edit it. But I would like to only have the Admin, Editor, and Artist Editor to be able to edit the page.
How can I do this?
In the region options, you can set who can edit a region.
I see I can do that but is there a way to have this automatically set, when the page gets created so I don't have to go in and set this myself?
It should be inherited by subpages when they are created.
It doesn't. Even if I have the parent pages and regions set to Artist Editor. Once the page gets created by the Artist Editor the permissions get set to Everyone. Then I have to log in and re-set the permissions to Artist Editor.
This is a Problem.
We understand it's a problem, however we're going to need to be able to reproduce it to help you. As Drew explained, the permissions should be inherited by subpages when they are created so we need to understand what is different about what you are doing so we can help.
Can you:

I'll be using Newsletter Editor for the example.

So the first thing you need to do is update Perch and let us know if you have the same problem. We support the latest available version for your license and you are currently quite behind that.
Ok I updated my Perch to the latest version.

But I still get the same result.
What options do you have set on the newsletter master page?
Editing Newsletter - Page Master Page
Details
Title: Newsletter - Page
Copy region options from: Do not copy
New pages should: Reference this master page
If you chose to copy the regions, does that solve the issue?
Ok it appears if I copy an existing page in the Master Page that has the same perch region or regions as the one I want to create, It works. But I have to create the subfolder and subpage first in order for this to work. Which isn't ideal. I wish the editor could go in and create the Subfolder and subpage.
Ok, we'll take another look at the workflow and see if it can be improved.
