Hi Matt. Mezzanine supports user access control in a "self-service" configuration that might be useful for you. You can have your users request an account (fill in their details and password), but they will not be granted access to the site (they can't log in) until an authorized member clears their request. You can define a list of email addresses that will be notified when new users request accounts. This way you don't have to manually enter every user's details, but you still have complete control over all of them. If you grant permission to a user, he/she will get an email notification to let them now they can use the site (complete with a log in link).
This requires you set ACCOUNTS_APPROVAL_REQUIRED = True in settings.py. Then you have to configure the emails that will be notified on new account requests in the Settings section of the Admin interface. The setting is called "Account approval email addresses" under the "Miscellaneous" section. To approve a new user, simply login to the Admin site (you need to have permission to change User objects), look for the user in question (you'll receive a direct link with the notification email), and check the "Active" box, then Save. This will notify the new user and let them log in to your site. I've been using this method for an online store I'm working in where only registered users can order products, and we want to screen them all. Hope that helps. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Mezzanine Users" group.
