Thomas Heute commented on JBPORTAL-1858:
----------------------------------------

The portlets are made to be configurable, we don't want to end up with tons of configuration we want to keep the highest flexibility.
To achieve that flexibility we use jBPM you can use any workflow (even the one we will never think of).
So a) is not possible 

b) that's what the documentation is for ;) the preferences are usually for end-users anyway, not for the developers.

The default settings depends on needs...  You can change for *your*portal.

OOTB settings are set so that it's easy to start with. 

Thanks for the feedback.

> There should be a configuration option for the User Portlet allowing the administrator to choose whether new user registrations are permitted.
> This option should be disabled by default - in other words, new registrations should not be possible until the administrator has enabled this option.
> A more elaborate solution might involve a combination of the following features:
> - require the administrator to approve each new registration
> - only allow registration from trusted IP addresses
> - the user must validate their email address
> - the email address must match a regular expression or be on a pre-defined list
