How to restrict user registration

Software Support

Is there a way to require admin registration approval. This way the journal admin needs to approve a users registration before the new user gets access to the journal.

Hi @abalbuena,

It sounds like you’re asking about OJS. What version of OJS are you running? (Please include this information in your posts.)

Alec,

Sorry. Yes I am running OJS version 2.4.8.0.

Thank you,

Hi @abalbuena,

We don’t currently support manager approval of registrants before they’re able to read the journal; I suppose you could fake it to some extent by turning on subscriptions, setting the content to subscription-only, and having the Manager create subscriptions manually for new users.
