Description David Chang 2006-08-29 02:58:17 UTC 
It is good for users themselves to be able to create an account. 
However, sometimes, it is desirable to disable this feature and to give
the account creation capabiblity to WikiSysop only. Hope
there will be a system variable to control the switch between the two modes.
Comment 1 David Chang 2006-08-29 03:00:16 UTC 
Further info: it is very desirable for WikiSysop to be able to 
edit and delete user accounts.
Comment 2 Rob Church 2006-08-29 04:15:07 UTC 
This case warrants a bit of STFW, to be frank.
Comment 3 Dan Li 2006-08-29 04:17:38 UTC 
For renaming users, check out the Renameuser extension ([[Special:Version]]).

For the permissions deal, modify $wgGroupPermissions as appropriate. See the
comments in includes/DefaultSettings.php.
Comment 4 Leon Weber 2006-08-30 05:28:53 UTC 
Just add these lines to LocalSettings.php:

$wgGroupPermissions['*'    ]['createaccount']   = false;
$wgGroupPermissions['user' ]['createaccount']   = false;

That works fine.
