Megan, once I also had this problem. Thanks for sharing such useful information.

Here is the improved solution for Drupal 7 logout functionality.

function user_logout($message = '', $status = 'warning') {
  global $user;

  watchdog('user', 'Session closed for %name.', array('%name' => $user->name));

  module_invoke_all('user_logout', $user);

  // Destroy the current session, and reset $user to the anonymous user.
  session_destroy();

// Sends a message to the user if you have a need to warn you
  if(!empty($message)){
      drupal_set_message($message, $status);
  }
  drupal_goto();
}

Thank you for writing in

Why are you creating a new

Why are you creating a new site on Drupal 7 right now? Drupal 8 is viable for most common situations right now, and you'll save yourself a lot of upgrade headaches later on by starting with 8.

Users don't have any privileges unless you grant them. What you probably want to do is create a new role, assign it it some permissions, and then give that user account the new role. You can also assign some privileges to the default "Authenticated User" role.

This User Guide page on "Managing User Accounts" should help:

https://www.drupal.org/docs/user_guide/en/user-chapter.html

There should be a menu link to log out. If there isn't, it might be because you haven't placed the User Account menu into the theme anywhere. Try going to the Admin > Structure > blocks menu and adding the User Account menu to a region.
