I'd like to offer users two methods of creating accounts because I have two 
"types" of users.

One type will login using their LinkedIn account from which I will take 
their profile information and perform LinkedIn API calls (such as Search).

The 2nd type will register their name, email and chosen password.

This page talks a little about Multiple login forms: 
http://web2py.com/books/default/chapter/29/9#Customizing-Auth (I've pasted 
in the relevant section below).

Q: How do I handle the setting of the equivalent 
"auth.settings.actions_disabled" 
for my 2nd authentication method? ie I won't have a registration form or 
options to reset password or request a password reset for LinkedIn users.

Multiple login forms

Some login methods modify the login_form, some do not. When they do that, 
they may not be able to coexist. Yet some coexist by providing multiple 
login forms in the same page. web2py provides a way to do it. Here is an 
example mixing normal login (auth) and RPX login (janrain.com):

1.
2.
3.
4.

from gluon.contrib.login_methods.extended_login_form import ExtendedLoginForm
other_form = RPXAccount(request, api_key='...', domain='...', url='...')
auth.settings.login_form = ExtendedLoginForm(request,
    auth, other_form, signals=['token'])

If signals are set and a parameter in request matches any signals, it will 
return the call ofother_form.login_form instead. other_form can handle some 
particular situations, for example, multiple steps of OpenID login inside 
other_form.login_form.

Otherwise it will render the normal login form together with the other_form
