Customize the user creation process in liferay portal

Question

Hi Friends,

As we know, Liferay has the inbuilt functionality for creating users. But i want to have an workflow for creating users which involves approval process. I mean, user will be created by admin but it should be approved by another authorized person, then only the user account will be active.

Is there any way to customize the user creation process in Liferay?

Thanks in Advance.

Answer 1

Take a look at TLCG Information Server at http://www.thelondonconsulting.com/products/information-server . You can use BPM to create a process with human tasks and then upload user to LDAP. Liferay will import only created users in LDAP.

Answer 2

You could use a Model Listener hook to intercept the user creation process and deactivate the newly created user. Check this link for more information on model listeners in Liferay.

Then you could use the Liferay permissioning system to assign Deactivate/Restore rights to a certain role.
