The admin approval backend¶
As an alternative to the default backend, and
an example of writing alternate workflows, django-registration-redux bundles
an approval-needed registration system in
registration.backend.admin_approval
. This backend’s workflow is similar to
the default with one extra step of approval from an admin. Specifically the
steps are the following:
- A user signs up by filling out a registration form.
- The user confirms the account by following the link sent to the email address supplied during registration.
- An admin receives an email with a link that will approve the user registration.
- When the admin approves the request, the user receives an email informing them that they can now login.
Configuration¶
To make use of this backend, simply include the URLConf
registration.backends.admin_approval.urls
at whatever location you choose
in your URL hierarchy.
This backend makes use of the same settings documented in the default backend plus the following settings:
REGISTRATION_ADMINS
- A list with the same structure as the
ADMINS
Django setting containing names and emails. Approval emails will be sent to the emails defined here. If this setting is not set (or is empty), emails defined inADMINS
will be used.
