User Accounts section options

The User Accounts section includes the following options:

• Disable Signup — When selected, users cannot create a new account. The exception is event registration: users can still create an account when registering for an event.
• Enable profile pages for all users — When selected, every user has a public profile page unless they set their profile to private.
• Enable profile pages for team members — When selected, any user who is a chapter or group team member has a public profile page unless they set their profile to private. The chapter must be active, visible, and not a test chapter for this setting to apply.
• Enable profile pages for attendees — When selected, any user who is registered or was previously registered for at least one event has a public profile page unless they set their profile to private.
• Enable profile pages for featured attendees — When selected, any user who requested to be a featured attendee — whether approved or not — has a public profile page unless they set their profile to private.
• Enable profile pages for writers — When selected, any user who is part of the blog writers group has a public profile page unless they set their profile to private.
