Would it be possible for Elgg to do the following...?

I am planning on using elgg in a project that I am working on. The following request may seem a little strange, but this is what I "hope" I can do using elgg...

I want to set up the site, and manually add users. These users will then have their profile, group membership etc... already set up.

Once the member joins, I don't want them to be able to edit or change anything in their profile or leave any of the groups that they have been made member of. I also don't want them to be able to create any additional groups.

Is this possible to do?

Thanks in advance

  • As far as user creation goes just disable registration and create users in user administration on the admin page.

    Set everything up manually for each user and done. Then with a plugin called widget manager lock default profile widgets.

  • Your requirements are very easy to achieve with elgg

    • Use the "disableregistration" plugin to prevent registration
    • Use the widget manager to have locked widgets
    • Do some custom coding to to make all users memebers of all groups and prevent group creation by users
    • Use profilemanager to assign etra metadataon users

     

  • Thanks for your help guys! I am enjoying working with elgg! Much better than that Australian dolphin one.....!
