Odoo provides a flexible user management system, allowing administrators to control how users register on their platform. If you want to disable user signup from the website, the method you choose depends on whether the eCommerce module is installed or not.
Disabling User Signup Without eCommerce Installed
If you are not using Odoo’s eCommerce module, follow these steps:
Go to Settings > General Settings.
Find the User Registration option.
Set User Registration to On Invitation.
Save the settings.
This ensures that only users invited by an administrator can create accounts.
Disabling User Signup When eCommerce Is Installed
If the eCommerce module is installed, the user signup process is tied to the checkout process. To disable user signup in this case:
Navigate to Settings > Website.
Locate the Shop Checkout Process setting.
Set it to Disabled (buy as guest).
Save the settings.
This prevents users from creating accounts during checkout and only allows guest purchases.
Conclusion
Disabling user signup in Odoo can help maintain better control over user access, ensuring that only authorized individuals can register. Whether or not you have eCommerce enabled, Odoo provides a straightforward way to manage user registrations effectively.
By following these steps, you can secure your Odoo system and prevent unwanted user signups.
