I'm using XWiki Enterprise version 1.6.1.13621. I
was following the
instructions in the FAQ to forbid registration (
http://www.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/FAQ/HowCanIForbidRegistration, which
seems to be out-of-date for my version BTW) and noticed some strange
behavior. I don't want anyone to self-register so I denied access in the
"Register" column of the "Rights" admin page for all groups. I
logged out
and noticed the register link was still on the page. I tried registering a
fake user and it worked. After playing around for a while I figured out
that I had to actually grant Register access for the XWikiAdminGroup group
to get the Register link to disappear. If I deny Register access or just
leave it blank for the XWikiAdminGroup group the Register link is present
and works. This is backwards to me. Without looking at the code it seems
like a logical error somewhere. Could someone tell me whether I'm
understanding this process correctly or not?
Did you forbid the right to the guest also?
The guest appears when you select Users instead of Groups, and is the
first entry, above the filter, called "Unregistered Users".
To remove the registration link completely, you can override the
global.vm template in a custom skin. Admins will still be able to use
the Administration->Users interface to add users.
