Server configuration issue Bedrock Edition

Note: I am not a developer or associated with Mojang. But can you provide a copy of your config? I'm not able to replicate this, my config line looks as follows.

default-player-permission-level=member

Note there are no spaces or quotes. I wonder if the server is defaulting to the visitor value because of an error in your config.

I think I found the source of the problem. The world on which this error occurs was originally created in the very minecraft on Windows 10 and manually uploaded to the server. When creating the world in the game itself, I indicated that the rights for new users will be "visitor". Therefore, on the server, this world does not obey the rule that is specified in server.properties
 

 
 
 
 
 

I will do a little testing and attempt to confirm. That is good to know.

I have confirmed this bug.

Steps to recreate.

1. Create world and set world to default to visitors.
2. Save and exit world.
3. Copy world directory from win10 app local to linux host and configure server to run off of new world.
4. configure default user perm to be 'member'
5. ensure permissions are correct for user starting minecraft.
6. empty permissions.json
7. start server
8. connect with client
9. user is now a visitor.

Also confirmed this behavior with windows based server. Identical steps.
