Frontend User / Self Registration - restrict password/entry?

Post by qbrix »

Hello, I'm running the latest CMS (1.0.4) and the latest frontend/selfreg modules. Everything works and I'm wondering if its possible to have the following scenario. Allow users to register, but they can't login until an admin grants them access? Right now, when they register they can immediately login and access the private pages, but I would like to restrict login access to only users that have been manually verified by an admin. Is this possible?

thanks,
Gary

This exact functionality isn't quite possible at this time.  However you can simulate it by having all of your users register to a 'Pending' group.  then they'll be able to login, but they won't be able to see the private content because the groups won't match.  The admin can then modify the user and move them into a regular group.
