[Archivesspace_Users_Group] Cannot add new user - workaround

[Chris Fitzpatrick]

Hi John, 

Ah, yes. So, allow_user_registration blocks adding a new user, as for example institutions using LDAP don't want new user creation to happen in the web application. 

But I see that you're wanting to have a "allow_new)user_requests" feature, which certainly sounds useful. I've made a ticket for it here :

best, chris.

Well it appears that setting this in config.rb:
AppConfig[:allow_user_registration] = false
directly affects this matter. We *don't* want
unauthenticated users creating accounts.

So if we set AppConfig[:allow_user_registration] = true
then the "Create User" button now works. But also,
unauthenticated users can create accounts. Not desirable.
But at least they don't have access to any repositories.

Hi John,

When you do this, is the log outputting anything? That will usually indicate the problem.

Folks,

We just did our "production" migration to ArchivesSpace.
All the ArchivistsToolkit users migrated as expected.
However, now in ArchivesSpace, I click System > Manage Users >
Create User > this takes me to the ArchivesSpace home page...
We're version 1.0.9, used the latest migration tool.
I have administrator privileges. And this malady even happens
with the "Admin" account...

Possible causes? Work arounds?
Many thanks,
