Massimiliano Bariola	Monday 27 March 2006 8:26:37 am 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 :-)

Massimiliano Bariola	Tuesday 28 March 2006 1:48:57 am @ 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 ....

You will still be able to create new users in the admin site access (that's content/action and content/edit). independent eZ Publish developer and service provider \| http://blog.coomanskristof.be \| http://ezpedia.org
