Admin role to approve new users?

Hello,

Did functionality to force new user registrations to be authorised by Admin before access is granted, every get implemented? I have seen a thread from 2006 that said it was due in v2.1.1 but I cannot figure out how to do it.

Apologies if there is an obvious answer; I am new to Mojoportal and still learning the ropes! I have checked the forums though and am unable to find the answer.
Thanks,
Leah

Re: Admin role to approve new users?

Hi Leah

Unfortunately this has not been implemented yet. It is still on my radar but right now I have so many things on my priority list that I'm not able to predict when I will get to this.

When a user registers, it doesn't give them any real privledges other than perhaps the ability to post in the forums (if you are using forums) and you could limit access to forums using page roles. So one option is to create a role named Members or something like that and secure all your pages so that only members can view it. New users will not be in that role unless you explicitely put them in that role. So the only thing missing is perhaps an automtic email to let you know of new registrations so you could decide whether to make them a "Member" by adding them to the member role. I "may" be able to get an option for emailing admins when new users register fairly easily in the near term.

Best,

Joe

Re: Admin role to approve new users?

Hi Jo, thanks for the swift response, is appreciated.  The reason I am looking for this function is because we will be posting information that we wouldn't like to be visible to the whole world so I will do as you suggest and add a new role that people have to be added to before they can see these pages.


Please let me know if you do add an e-mail notification to the admin function when new members join; in the meantime I think I will add a contact form people can fill in if they want to view the whole site. I'll get this in my inbox and can then add them to the role.


Thanks again,

Leah

Trying to find out if approve new users was added, looking at this set of chats was from 2008.

If it's there, I'm sorry I missed it.

Re: Admin role to approve new users?

Hi,

There is not an approval process, but you can protect pages with roles and then only add users to roles if you approve them.

You can get email notification when a user registers by set this to true in user.config then touch Web.config to make it reload the settings.

<add key="NotifyAdminsOnNewUserRegistration" value="true"/>

Hope it helps,

Joe
