Non active users can enroll in courses

[angonz]

As per the documentation, users should activate their account by following the emailed instructions before they can enroll in a course. However it's not what actually happens and inactive users can enroll in any course the first time they access after registration.

Steps to reproduce:

1. Go to the Open edX sandbox
2. Register a new account
3. Do not logout
4. Do not click the link in the email to confirm you account
5. Verify that learner dashboard shows a message like "Remember to confirm your email so that you can keep learning!" Do NOT click on the link to confirm now.
6. Go to the course catalog, open the course about page and enroll in any open course.
7. Browse, take exams, etc.

Expected behavior:

Students should not be allowed to enroll in any course before activating their accounts.

Based on my knowledge and understanding of this feature since Ironwood, this is how its functionality was designed. If there is a new requirement, we can implement restrictions to prevent users from enrolling in the course.

The documentation should be updated to reflect this functionality and prevent any confusion.

hello, as per the documentation learners who have registered and activated user accounts can enrol, if so, the functionality should be updated to prevent learners from enrolling. I can implement the functionality.
