The "Create Account" part of the Login portlet can be set up so that the new user gets an e-mail notification. However, I could not find an out-of-the-box way to notify a portal or site administrator when a new account is being created (I am using Liferay 6.1.0 CE). If there is no way to do this, I think it could be a very useful feature in situations where an administrator has to check manually whether a person is accepted as a new user.

Hi Andras:
I also think that's a good idea.

It can be easily implemented with a Model Listener Hook on the User service.

What I would add to your proposal is to have a complete approval workflow for user creation, so that for example, when a new user arrives to the platform, the admin verify it's not spam, and then passes the user form to the legal department and then, after the approval, he becomes a full member of the site.
What do you think about this?
Thanks for sharing your ideas!
Juan

Hi Juan,

many thanks for the quick reply and for the suggestion to implement this functionality with a Model Listener hook. That is fine but requires some extra work which could be a waste if the feature is useful for many people. For me as a LR beginner it would certainly cost more time than necessary... :-(

Your suggestion for a complete "new user approval workflow" is excellent, I think this is definitely needed. Maybe it finds its way into a new release? :-)

Thanks a lot again, András

Good news! After doing a little research it turns out that we already have it!
All you need to do is to deploy Kaleo workflow plugin and then follow the steps I define in the following picture.

Cool! I learned something new today helping you emoticon

Juan

Hi Juan,

Thanks for the good news. However: I cannot "follow the steps I define in the following picture." , because when I tried to access the picture you mentioned, I got the following XML instead:

<Error>
<Code>AccessDenied</Code>
<Message>Request has expired</Message>
<RequestId>6DF45FCCCFB9D4DA</RequestId>
<Expires>2012-11-28T16:08:16Z</Expires>

</HostId>
<ServerTime>2012-11-29T09:21:42Z</ServerTime>
</Error>

Is there a way of sharing this so that the information does not expire so quickly?

Thanks a lot, András

Juan, I can't access the picture, it seems to be expired or secured?
