In your XWiki Workspaces instance, click on the "Adminisration" link located at the top left of the top menu bar. On the Settings page, click on the "Edit settings" located at the top left. Then set "allow public registration" to false. Does this work ? Guillaume On Wed, Oct 8, 2008 at 7:48 PM, Daniel Svoboda <dsvoboda@structbio.pitt.edu>wrote:

Hi,

I'm using workspaces 1.2M1 as a virtual xwiki under xem 1.3. I have configured the XWikiServerClass object under XWikiServerServername to have the visibility property set to 'Private'. When I look at XWikiPreferences in the virtual xwiki, there are XWikiGlobalRights objects configured Deny, Groups:,Levels:Register,Users:XWikiGuest, and Deny, Groups:XWikiAllGroup, Levels: edit, register, Users:

The registration form still appears on the login page, and upon filling in the fields and submitting, registration is successful.

I need to not allow registration by anyone except Admin.

Thanks,

The user object has a field for setting whether the user name is activated. If you're using XWiki Enterprise you can edit XWiki.Registration and there is an example of how to add a "favorite color" field which contains a "doAfterRegistration" option for code to do something to the user after registration, you can set this to get the user object from the user's document then set the "active" field to 0. XWiki.Registration does not exist in Workspaces and you would have to add the code to xwiki.war/templates/register-inline.vm I'm sure there are other ways to do it (I don't know very much about Workspaces) but this is one that I know.

Hello Guillaume

I need to somehow control the registration in our wiki meaning that people can register but an admin needs to approve them before being able to login and use the wiki. After searching in the forum I ended up reading the guidelines you gave to another user.

I couldn't follow your instructions. I don't whether these are by now outdated or I just did not understand them.

Any help is greatly appreciated!

Thanks,

Joanna

One possible solution: Go to Administer wiki, Registration, enable "Use email verification" and "Check Active fields for userauthentication", change the "Validation e-Mail Content" so that it doesn't contain the validation link, but say something like "Your account will e validated shortly". This solves the need for validation, but then you'll need to develop some UI which allows administrators to list and manually activate new users.
