Hi i am considering using drupal for a website i am building, But i require a registered user area and the users account must be made by the admin. User must not be able to sign up on the site sounds strange but its the way i have to do it. Also is it possible to set areas of the site so they can only be viewed by the members that the admin has created??
Also could someone one tell me drupals benifits over phpnuke?
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks

Go to administer > user > configure (admin/user/configure) and set the user registration settings. Your choices are:

* Only site administrators can create new user accounts.
* Visitors can create accounts and no administrator approval is required.
* Visitors can create accounts but administrator approval is required.

For access control take look at modules like
Taxonomy access control
Simple_access
Node privacy byrole
Path_access

Ammendment: oops - my mistake I found it. It is in admin/settings/user instead

I tried this path in 4.7 and there is nothing there. Was this feature removed or moved?

Path admin/settings/user works for me in 4.7. Can you check again.
