[EP-tech] Re: User Approval

Hi!

Is there a way to approve users when registered before being able to
start creating eprints?

I found out that in our repository few users that have been registered
are "rubbish".


You could set new users to be minuser in cfg.d/registration.pl.

How would you track new user accounts, in order to give them approval?

OK! I see your point with "minuser"!
My thought was a little bit more complicated...I was thinking that it could be done (more or less) the same way you track deposits and notify the admin! For example a user is registered by default as a minuser. At the same time an e-mail is sent to the admin team and they take the proper actions about the user (e.g. delete, upgrade account etc.). After the user is "verified" he/she can access the repository.
Maybe it's very complicated but as a first step what it could be done is to notify with an e-mail the admin team the time a user registers.
I am not so sure if I made myself clear but anyway I was thinking something like that. Is it possible? 

Best,

G.
