[Typo3-UG Denmark] Allowing non-registered users to register/signup.

[Helge Vad]

Hi,

First of all - we would be talking about frontend users here. FE users are registered in the fe_users table. Both the feuser_admin and sr_feuser_register extensions operate on this table, allowing anonymous users to register themselves with username, password, email and various optional personal information. Both extensions  may be configured to send emails notifying administrator about new registrations.  The sr_feuser_register also allows for frontend users to confirm their registration by clicking on a link enclosed in an email which is sent automatically to the email adress entered in the registration form - thus preventing bogus registrations. 
As for admin granting access for feusers, you would probably first of all consider if this is really the way you want it to work after all. First, it migth feel a little frustrating for new feusers that they cannot log in to the site immedeately following that they have submitted their registration form. Second, by having emails sent to you (admin) each time a new users is allowed in, you will be able to remove the new user from the fe_users table or send an email to the new user, should any problem arise. 
But given this is really the way you want it to work, my guess would be that the assignment of frontend usergroup by admin would be the simplest to implement. First, add the feuser_admin or sr_feuser_register extension to your system. When configuring those extensions you have the choice of which frontend user group (id) new users (automatically) should be created as members of. Here you might assign no group - or a group with only limited access (ie to a welcome page).  Next - await the notification email to admin notifying of the new feuser. Once you have approved the new feuser (by the way, on which criteria?) you then assign the new feuser the real frontend user group, thus granting full access for the new feuser to the given set of pages open for registered and approved feusers.  

Hope this helps :)

  Is it possiple to make a page where a <unknown> user can
  sign up w. email, password or such and get created in the system as
  a pending-user / normal-user with no special access before admin or other grant them access.

  Like customers who purchased a product and awaits access to update downloads or 
  download of product itself, member pages etc..
