I have attempted to look through the forums for the answer, unfortunately, most of the information is *very* dated (2007, 2008, etc).

Xwiki V 7.4.1

I am having issues with disabling user registration. We do not want unauthorized users to be able to register themselves. I have looked through various permissions options, and I do not even have the 'unauthenticated users' entry in the Users list, so I can't exactly remove register from this user since it does not exist.

Steps to setup so far: Install .war into tomcat Leave wizard and use the 'never' option. Login as superadmin, import .xar archive

Create a new user, and begin revoking rights from guests/unauthenticated users.

Unfortunately, I have not found any way of actually disabling the registration page and requiring an admin to create the account as we prefer to do.

Indeed the page at http://platform.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Features/RightsManagement would need a serious rewrite. Basically you just need to remove the registration right for the Guest user. Actually since you only wish the admin to be able to register a user, I’d suggest you only tick the registration permission for the XWikiAdminGroup and all other groups and users should have the registration box unticked.

Looking forward to any info.
