NextCloud / Owncloud User registration

Also, @travisdh1 is there a way to force password change at login?

I sent this email yesterday.

I saw that was a "resolution" listed on a thread. Tell the user to reset their password using the link. It really seems unnecessary. I would think this kind of functionality would be baked into version 1.0, but here we are years later and something so simple has not been implemented.

User creation, by an admin, has pretty much never changed or been addressed in the life of the product from what I can tell.

Yeah. I also thought it was odd that email address is not a default user field.

Took me a year to find it in the settings button on the bottom of the screen.

@JaredBusch Is there anyway to allow users to sign up for an account or does an admin have to create every account by hand?

There is a plugin for that.
Go to apps
Authentication & authorizaiton
App called registration

FYI never used it. Testing it now.

Works perfectly, but man, spam accounts can get signed up super easy with this.
-
Might be a way to restrict it to certain domains or something.
-
Admin did get an alert email. So if you set the default quota to something small it would be fairly hard to hurt anything on registration until an admin changes permissions.

Yup,

Yup,
FYI...this function does not work out of the box. Once you enter the domain name to restrict registration and log out and back in, all settings have been reset.
I've figured out a workaround that allows me to manually add the allowed domains in the database directly and then fix the forms so that the field values can't be changed by another admin (or by me accidentally). This has been listed as an issue for nearly a year and this was the only way I was able to stem the tide of spam registrations. Have a look here for the workaround...

I followed the exception instructions. Disabling the admin area worked correctly, but I am unable to filter by domain.
When I first made the changes, I was not allowed to get to the admin area at all, then I added 3 domains using the DB query provided. Then i was able to access the admin area.
However, I am still able to register under any domain.

@IRJ Are you trying to set this up on Nextcloud or Owncloud. I haven't tried this on Owncloud but to be sure, I setup registration on a new system using the same instructions and was able to get full lockout for non-accepted domains.
