I want to validate and approve users before they have access to my portal. I don't see any module with this functionality.

Does anyone know of some way to accomplish this?

You might be able to do this by unclicking all the access control boxes for anonymous users under aminister>>access control. What do you mean by portal?

Nothing in particular. Just my website. I tend to thing of a website where people need to log in to get to the content as a portal. It's tailored to certain people.

I want to create a web site for the condo community I live in. I don't want just anyone to be able to access the web site. Only people who are part of the condo community or their friends. Therefore I want to control access. I'd rather do this before their approved rather than afterwards.

Make sense?

If you look under administer -> users -> configure (tab) the first part of the form is Public registrations:. I think selecting 'Visitors can create accounts but administrator approval is required.
User registration guidelines:' will do what you want.

Yep. That's what I wanted. Thanks.

Where do I approve the new accounts if I have this feature turned on? I tried to use it but ran into too much trouble and ended up turning it off temporarily.

Where is this functionality located in 4.7? I cannot seem to find it and have been searching for a good while.

Hi there...

I have already found the possibility to change the rights for a new user registration at ?q=admin/user/configure of my site.
I want, as long as I'm not finished configuring my site, that only administrators are able to add accounts. Thus if I confirm, drupal shall save the settings I get a dialogue-window from firefox saying that the url was not valid.
What might be wrong?

Thanks for help... hquadrat

EDIT: The problem is solved... This was probably due I moved the entire drupal-installation in another directory. Maybe the tables in MySQL were not prepared to this completely. I had to reinstall the whole drupal once again anyways due some other negative effect, now everything works so far.
