Disable public user registration

[tmelikoff]

It would be really useful to disable public user registration and allowing only the administrator to create new accounts. I believe that some of us use wallabag only for personal use (or family).

Also, if such option (configuration file or switch in control panel) were enabled, registration button should be hidden in the homepage.

Thank you.

Until there is a solution and if you use Nginx, add this in your configuration:

    location ^~ /register {
      deny all;
      return 403;
    }

This is the work-around for httpd-2.2.15

 <LocationMatch "/register">
     Deny from All
 </LocationMatch>

Uhm. This is a rather important feature, I would think. I'm guessing a lot of people install this app to for their own use only. I would like to be able to prevent other people from using my server resources. Version 2.x suggest production ready to me. But an app with such a glaring oversight can hadly be used in production...

Edit: Just to drive this point home... There could be very bad legal repercussions here. If somebody uses this to store links to illegal content on my server, it could mean serious jail time for me in my jurisdiction (Germany). Say child porn or links to neo nazi sites. This is bad.

@j0k3r what is the best way? A parameter (true/false)? If true, we hide the register button and we override the register route like here http://stackoverflow.com/a/32332378?

@nicosomb Yeah could a good idea. An extra parameter in internal configuration.

I think it's the easier way. OK, I change the milestone.
