Hi,

I need to disable the "register" button in admin siteaccess, and also the possibility for users to register into the user siteaccess. how can I do it? I thought there was a settign but I cannot find it. I want the only way to allow user creation to be manually, via the admin interface, by properly - authorized admin users.

thank you :-)

I had trouble using the roles and permissions to disable user registration in an earlier version of eZ, so I modifed the /user/login template and just added the word "disabled" to the <b>sign in</b> button tag for the appropriate site view, and some descriptive text.

@ Kristof

Hi, ok, so what views of the user module do I need to disable in user siteaccess? and if I disable "register" on admin siteaccess, will I still be able to create users manually?

I have to ask this since the site is live and I cannot experiment ...

@Betsy: thanks, I have thought of that too, but I need something more structural. The guy I found registered must have been someone who knew about ezp since there is no link at all on the site leading t oa registration yet he did. so I think he just typed in the standard url for user/register.

luckily the guest users have no real privileges ....

Yes, you can disable user/register. You will still be able to create new users in the admin site access (that's content/action and content/edit).

I had about 150 unwelcome "guests" ...

I will use the roles as described in this thread next time - I agree it is a better solution.

Thank you.
