Registration is closed

[Hekas1]

Hello, dear participants, how is it possible to close registration in the interface so that new users are unable to register in the system?

To close registration and prevent new users from signing up in RAGFlow, set the environment variable REGISTER_ENABLED=0 (for example, in your docker/.env file). This disables new user registration in the interface—anyone trying to register will see a message that registration is closed. This works reliably in version 0.18.0 and newer; if you’re using version 0.17.2, upgrade to a newer version as there was a bug in older releases.

If you need more control, you can also hide or remove the "sign up" UI elements in the frontend code (search for "sign up" in the web folder and comment them out, then rebuild), or block the /v1/user/register API endpoint using a reverse proxy like Nginx.

When registration is closed, new users can still be added by invitation (via SMTP) or by backend scripts, but there’s no admin UI for manual user creation while registration is disabled.
