# Restrict account creation
|
|
|
|
{!owner-only.md!}
|
|
|
|
Each Zulip account is associated with an email address. If your organization
|
|
allows multiple authentication methods, it doesn't matter which one is used to
|
|
create an account. All authentication methods will work for all users in your
|
|
organization, provided that they are associated with the account email. To log
|
|
in with email, users are required to verify their email account by clicking on a
|
|
validation link.
|
|
|
|
Zulip provides a number of configuration options to control who can create a new
|
|
account and how users access their accounts:
|
|
|
|
* You can [require an invitation](#set-whether-invitations-are-required-to-join)
|
|
to sign up (default), or you can [allow anyone to
|
|
join](#set-whether-invitations-are-required-to-join) without an invitation.
|
|
|
|
* You can [restrict the ability to invite new
|
|
users](#change-who-can-send-invitations) to any combination of
|
|
[roles](/help/user-roles), [groups](/help/user-groups), and individual
|
|
[users](/help/introduction-to-users).
|
|
|
|
Regardless of whether invitations are required, you can:
|
|
|
|
* [Configure allowed authentication
|
|
methods](/help/configure-authentication-methods).
|
|
|
|
* [Restrict sign-ups to a fixed list of allowed
|
|
domains](#restrict-sign-ups-to-a-list-of-domains)
|
|
(including subdomains). For example, you can require users to sign up with
|
|
the email domain for your business or university.
|
|
|
|
* Disallow signups with known [disposable email
|
|
address](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Disposable_email_address). This
|
|
is recommended for open organizations to help protect against abuse.
|
