How do you allow a user to view his own details?

When a new user registers, a new user object with a node_id is created.

The problem is that my user cannot see the object
http://mysite.com/content/view/full/86.

The user gets the error message
Access Denied
- You don't have permission to access this area.

I figured that this was a permission problem, to I created a new role called 'user' and assigned it to my user group 'guest users' (the group that all new users are added to).

I added the following code to one of my templates to check is the role was correctly assigned to the user:
{fetch(user, current_user).roles|attribute(show)}
The correct roles popped up on the screen and all seemed well. All I now had to do was add the correct permissions to the role.

I edited the user role and added the following permissions:
user * *
content edit Class( User ) , Owner( Self )
content read Class( User ) , Owner( Self )

It still doesn't work. I deleted my entire cache directory and tried again. No luck.

Can anyone make a couple of suggestions on what I am missing here?

eZ Crew, will you do something so that the user can change his own detail or tell us how to deal with that problem without modifying the php code (just the templates).

I thinks it's a big problem and there are a lot of posted messages on that topic.
