Disable API Key Signup page

[juanifioren]

I want to restrict key creation by removing key signup page and only leave the admin page to do it. How can I do this?.

+1. Although this can be achieved by configuring the web server, I propose it's made a configurable feature. I suggest the following options:

• to disable the page completely
• to enable the page with free signup as it is now
• to enable the page with free signup, pending admin approval
• to enable the page with free signup and captcha
• to enable the page with free signup and captcha, pending admin approval

+1 either some way to easily disable the key signup page or require manual approval of all new API keys.

@puntofisso how is this possible? Where can I limit all the signups?

@syedhassan sorry, it's too long ago that I used umbrella-api :)

Its 2020 and this is still an issue. How do we disable new sign up or add Admin approval for user's to sign up

Hi I just started using API Umbrella yesterday and managed to configure the api (i.e. the part /signup/) What I did was to create an api "backend" with "signup" and then under global request setting I added the role "admin" which I have added for a user. Hence if a person without the api key visits the page, it would should the page with "api key missing". Hope this helps :) Thank you. Best regards Ashar
