Only allow certain e-mail adresses to register

I posted this on the www.vbulletin.com forum and got the tip to post here.

Quote:

I'm setting up a forum for our registered customers. I also want to grant some people evaluating the software access.

Is it possible to test the e-mail address based on an allowed list (file or a separate MySQL table) when a user tries to register? If the it matches an allowed e-mail it proceedes with the registration (and e-mail verification) otherwise it is sent to moderation.

What is the best strategy to do this?

I'm new to vBulletin (just installed it a few hours ago) but not afraid of writing PHP code. A rough outline on how to do this, just where to start or an alternative ways of doing this would be very helpful.

It would be fairly easy to adapt this hack to do what you want.

Thank you. Your hack got me thinking (hence the delay in replying).

My original idea was to limit the registration process, but I guess I could also allow anyone to register and then upgrade their usergroup.

As I write above I'm setting up a forum for users of our software (I have their e-mail addresses) but I also want to (manually) allow some users evaluating the software. To make it smooth for our users I want them to have immediate access once they registered to the forum.

Any opinion on the best way to do this?

1. Limit the registration to the forum
2. Let anyone register, but require a usergroup to read anything but the welcome thread
