Turn off user social registration in django-allauth?

Question

I noticed looking through the django-allauth templates there's a signup_closed.html users can be redirected to when user registration is closed or disabled. Does anyone who's familiar with that module know if there's a pre-configured setting that can be set in settings.py to turn off new user registration via existing social apps? Or do I need to configure that myself? I've read the full docs for allauth and I don't see any mention of it. Thanks.

Looks like you need to override is_open_for_signup on your adapter.

See the code.

There is no pre-configured setting but it's easy to make one (this is what I do).

# settings.py

# Point to custom account adapter.
ACCOUNT_ADAPTER = 'myproject.myapp.adapter.CustomAccountAdapter'

# A custom variable we created to tell the CustomAccountAdapter whether to
# allow signups.
ACCOUNT_ALLOW_SIGNUPS = False

# myapp/adapter.py

from django.conf import settings

from allauth.account.adapter import DefaultAccountAdapter


class CustomAccountAdapter(DefaultAccountAdapter):

    def is_open_for_signup(self, request):
        """
        Whether to allow sign ups.
        """
        allow_signups = super(
            CustomAccountAdapter, self).is_open_for_signup(request)
        # Override with setting, otherwise default to super.
        return getattr(settings, 'ACCOUNT_ALLOW_SIGNUPS', allow_signups)

This is flexible, especially if you have multiple environments (e.g. staging) and want to allow user registration in staging before setting it live in production.

This code does the trick. However, let me add a warning label: Implementing this custom adapter can prevent initial logins on social accounts, which can require operating signup methods to create the user's social account. Users with pre-existing accounts will not be affected, but if you add a user to Azure AD (for example) and let them sign in with their microsoft ID, they'll be redirected to the non-working signup views, since their account can't be created automatically. – Proximal

More information at http://django-allauth.readthedocs.io/en/latest/advanced.html#custom-redirects.

You need to subclass allauth.account.adapter.DefaultAccountAdapter to override is_open_for_signup, and then set ACCOUNT_ADAPTER to your class in settings.py

In case this helps others. I followed instructions above but named my custom adapter file account_adapter.py which is seems to be reserved name so it was giving ModuleNotFoundError. I had to rename it to something else eg my_account_adapter.py and then this worked. – Phosphorylase
