Do not allow members to sign up on the website, only by me creating them

To stop registration via the web site, select "plone setup" then "Zope Management Interface" again. Go to the root of your site and select the "security" tab. Look for "add portal member" and uncheck the box in the "Acquire permission settings" column.

This still leaves the login portlet. To remove this, go to the "Zope Management Interface" again. In the root of your Plone site select the "Properties" tab. In the "left_slots" box delete the line "here/portlet_login/macros/portlet" then click "Save Changes".

Members can still log in by using a URL like "http://your.site/login_form". It would be nice if this could be "login" rather than "logon_form". This should be possible within Plone but not sorted out how yet. In the meantime I've cheated by a redirect in Apache

RewriteRule ^/login$ http://www.roxburgh.net/login_form [R]
