[Fusionforge-general] fusionforge account creation

I understand but I would rather not give anyone access to any system without some approval.  

What if I decided to use ldap?   Would that be the way to go to control account creation and access to FF?

Thanks for your time.
Mark

Registration is just one step.
The second step is that the user has to join projects.
This request will have to be approved by administrators of the projects

That's why we don't take too much concern with registration of users.

  Maybe the simplest way would be to add a configuration knob (or change the current one to a tristate instead of a boolean) and a change in the code; if the account registration is left open, we get the current behaviour; if it is restricted, only the admin gets to create accounts; if it's "approval only", then the UI does display the form and people can register accounts, but the mail is sent to the forge admin and only they can actually approve the account.

  The changes in the code would probably be localised to the part of User.class.php that sends the registration email, and the list of configuration variables.
