The Website Signup Approval module helps businesses regulate who can sign up and access the Odoo website by introducing a secure website signup approval system. With this tool, every new website login or signup is subject to internal approval before access is granted. Whether you’re running a B2B portal, internal platform, or a multi-user ecommerce site, this module gives you complete control over user login access control, providing a safer, more compliant web login access control software experience within Odoo.
The Website Signup Approval module is ideal for any organization that needs to approve users before they can access the website, log in, or view internal portals. This is especially critical for industries where sensitive data, client verification, or restricted portals are involved.
What Makes It Stand Out
- Signup Approval Workflow: Block user access until verified by an administrator
- Website User Notification: Sends automated approval emails with login link.
- Admin Interface for Approvals: Easily manage and approve or reject user signups.
- Access Denied to Unapproved Users: Clear frontend message prevents premature access.
- User Control Settings: Enable signup approvals for internal users.
- Website Permissions Enforcement: Manage who can access the website securely.
Detailed Features
1. Signup Approval Flow
When a portal user signs up through the Odoo website, their access is not granted immediately. Instead, a request is sent to an internal user designated with website signup approval rights.
Until approved, the user sees a message such as:
“Thank you for registering with us. We will send you a notification as soon as your registration is verified by the Administrator.”
This prevents unauthorized user account control breaches.
2. Admin Panel for User Approvals
Once configured, a new menu named User Approvals appears under Users & Companies for designated internal users. The interface allows admins to:
- View Name, Login, Company
- See Approved or Blocked Users
- Click to Approve or Reject signup requests
This brings simplified user access control into the Odoo backend.
3. Auto Email on Approval
Once an internal user clicks Approve, an automated email is sent to the registrant with a login link. This provides seamless communication and secure access restoration through controlled sign up website processes.
4. Blocked Access Message
If the user attempts to log in before approval, they receive a clear message:
“Kindly wait for the approval, you are not apporved yet. With approval, you will be notified. Thanks.”
This ensures that no unverified user can access the website prematurely.
