Hi everyone,
I’m working on a requirement to completely disable the out-of-the-box (OOTB) self-registration feature in the Community (not the general Service Portal or Customer Service Portal).
According to the business need:
Only users who receive an invitation email from a Forum Admin should be able to register.
There should be no way for the public to access the self-registration page (e.g., community?id=community_external_user_registration) unless they received a specific link.
Question:
What is the best practice to completely disable self-registration in the Community, while allowing only invitation-based registration?
Is restricting access to the community_external_user_registration page via roles enough? Or are there additional configurations or properties I should be aware of?
Thanks in advance!
