Disable User Registration

[Raman236]

Add New Users from Admin Hi it would be nice to be able to add new users from the admin account. At the moment in order for someone to be added, I have to change the value in the env file:

Set to 1 if you want to allow anonymous request

This will not affect front-end behaviour

ALLOW_ANONYMOUS=0

so basically

1. be able to add new user from admin account
2. be able to turn on and off registration from admin account

Hi,

This is not the attended way to do this.

For new users to get access, they have to:

• create an account
• Wait for an admin to enable the account (in the settings page, tick the 'Enabled') button
• Then, the user will be able to access Meelo

Unless it's for development purposes, I do not recommend setting ALLOW_ANONYMOUS to 0 for now

Hi

i see. This would pose an issue if there are bots or unwanted people will register and flood the user backend?

it would be nice to just have an option to allow/disallow new user registration, and still keep the:

Agree, I'll keep this issue open, but it will be moved to the backlog
