Control who can create an account

[JonasBarcat]

Hello! Is there any way to control who can create and account, I mean, to control who can sign up in the application?

Hi @JonasBarcat,

There is no way to control this right now. But if we could, how would you do this?

1. Limit to an email domain? e.g. only users with @pwpush.com emails can sign up
2. IP block? (I would use a firewall in this case)
3. Disable registrations and allow only an admin type user to do specific invites?

1 might be the easiest but which is best depends on the use case/need.

I've had 3 on the list for a while but it's a big job. The plan was to do this at the same time of adding teams and a group policy.

Thank you for you support!

Hi @JonasBarcat - just a late update that we now support limiting signups by email domain. e.g. only allow users with your company domain to sign up. Hope this helps!

August 2023 Update: We now support limiting sign ups to specific email domains. See PWP__SIGNUP_EMAIL_REGEXP in the Configuration document.

Hi @JonasBarcat - updating the answer with the latest information:

To control account creation, enable logins and set PWP__ALLOW_ANONYMOUS to false. This blocks all anonymous users from creating text, file or URL pushes.

Then once all of your teammate accounts are made, set PWP__DISABLE_SIGNUPS which will disable new account registration entirely.

Anonymous users will still be able to receive/retrieve secret URLs that are given to them.

More details in the Configuration.md document.

I hope I explained this well and it helps out.
