I don't think this should be exposed by default for all users -- it should be disabled by default and only enabled when done so explicitly by the developer. I would think you would only want to expose this kind of functionality to admin/trusted users -- otherwise, you are providing a way for users to spam people and load your db.auth_user table with an unlimited number of phantom registrations. A few other suggestions:
- Provide an easy API for specifying a required Auth role or set of roles that are allowed access to this functionality (as I think in most cases you would want to restrict its usage) -- something like auth.settings.bulk_register_roles. - Add an option to specify a limit on the number of users that can be registered at a time (with some reasonable default, such as 100). - Maybe provide a script or a function in admin/appadmin that can clean up db.auth_user by expunging bulk registrations that were not completed within some (configurable) time frame. - Apply auth.settings.formstyle to the form.
