Control account creation

Hi,

what ways to control account creation does Mediawiki 1.12 provide? I would
like to have some kind of restriction mechanism, e.g. that sysop needs to
approve new accounts.

I already tried

$wgGroupPermissions['*']['edit'] = false;
$wgGroupPermissions['emailconfirmed']['edit'] = true;

without success. I can create an account without providing an email and then
edit any page.

Thanks, Helmut

Re: Control account creation [In reply to]

We did not want logged in users to also be able to create accounts,
so we also added, to LocalSettings.php,

$wgGroupPermissions['user']['createaccount'] = false

After we noticed logged-in users could create accounts.
