What's the best way to allow users to only be set-up by the administrator - no self-registered users?
My organisation want to try out the Forum for Safety Related discussions. We don't want users to register with any name other than their network login name - we can't ensure that they'll all follow instructions to do this so we need a way for them to request, maybe via e-mail to have a Forum account set-up and then for an admin to set them up using their correct username and e-mail.
I can Suspend Registration which prevents users from self-registering, and I guess I'll need to change the code to display a "Request Registration" e-mail link instead of the "Sorry, new registrations are currently suspended..." message and finally amend the admin user registration page to send a registration confirmation e-mail, to prevent false registration requests.
Or is there an easier way I'm missing?
