Feature request: automated user registration
Please introduce a functionality allowing users to register and automate the process of registration.
Suggested way this could work:
- The user click on the "Request an account" button
- A form pops up prompting the user for an email and password
- The user appears in the system as "requesting", with login == email
- An email with an activation link is sent to the user
- After the activation link is clicked the user gets an on-screen notification that his request will be reviewed
- the status of the user changes to "pending"
- A notification is sent to the admins (contact email) to review the user and assign a role
- When a role is assigned, the user gets a notification that his account is set up
@piotr.gawron what do you think? We discussed this for a bit with @ewa.smula .
We could consider skipping steps 4-6 (activation link), but then there will be no control if the email is valid.
