Just setting up Portal... seems anyone that hits "Register" gets assigned a new account instantly. How do I require that a registration request be approved by an administrator role?
Not true. After disabling anonymous access through Portal -> My Organization -> Edit Settings -> Security everything needs authorization. Even Home page requires login.
Thanks for the clarification. That does sound like it would solve the issue. I was expecting the ability to have people request accounts that are then approved by administrator. That would have reduced the administrative headache of getting everyone's contact info ahead of time and creating accounts for them. Nonetheless, this is better than allowing just anyone to request an account! Hopefully this solves the issue, though I am still curious and unsure why Randall's suggestion was not working.
Disabling anonymous access will disable the option of registering to Portal by anonymous users from the landing page. Only those users can login, whose account have been created by the administrator (existing users).
All the maps that have been shared with public on landing page, could be seen by all the users without creating logins.
Thanks Jayanta... but are you sure this applies to my situation? I don't want to restrict people from seeing the Portal resources outside of the organization; I want to restrict the ability to request for accounts without administrative approval. As it is, merely clicking "Create Account" instantly creates an account.
Did you try Disabling anonymous access—Portal for ArcGIS (10.5.x) | ArcGIS Enterprise ?
Sign in to the portal website as an Administrator of your organization and click the Edit Settings button.Click the Security link on the left side of the page.Uncheck the Allow anonymous access to your portal option.Click Save to apply your change.
If you're using web tier authentication (that is, you're performing authentication through ArcGIS Web Adaptor), disable anonymous access on your web server (For Windows).
I doubt it - I also went though my web adaptor (on Tomcat, installed on the same box as my Portal). Is there anything notable in the portal logs?
Also working on 10.5.1 on Linux. Hmm, do you think changing this through the web adaptor rather than on the server makes any difference? I accessed the admin page through the web adaptor to make these changes.
Strange. I'm on 10.5.1 on Linux, works for me, the 'create an account' button is gone. Which version are you working with?
Yep, and typed in rather than copy pasted (to prevent extra characters being pasted in). Still doesn't work, curious.
Hmm, are the curly braces set correctly?
{"disableSignup": "true"}
Strangely, this isn't working. I can try and add this property, but then after a minute or so the page refreshes and the property is not set.
HI Cassandra,
