Shubham Padia 7ce87c66ac help: Make loose lists tight for help center files.
In our current implementation, loose lists and tight lists look the same
visually. Loose lists are lists with blank lines between list items, and
the contents of a list item should be enclosed in a paragraph tag in
that case. For unordered lists, paragraph tags have a bottom margin in
starlight and thus looses lists look much more spaced out than tight
lists.

That is not the behaviour we had in mind while writing the
documentation, the reason we had all these loose lists is to make the
documentation easy to write and read. So we attempt to remove all the
blank lines and fix the problem at source. Since paragraph tags are used
for other purposes in a list in starlight, it won't be a wise decision
to let the source be as is and just change things in css, other expected
behaviours might break in that case. See this topic for more details:
https://chat.zulip.org/#narrow/channel/19-documentation/topic/new.20help.20center.3A.20regressions/near/2226084

All the changes were made by a one-off script which has not been
commited to the repo. The script wasn't perfect and could not decide
between blank lines that make a list loose vs blank lines necessary for
a sub-list or a code block inside a list item. A manual review of all
the changes was done before making this commit to ensure that no
unintended changes were made to the help center files.

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:

Regardless of whether invitations are required, you can:

Set whether invitations are required to join

{start_tabs}

{settings_tab|organization-permissions}

  1. Under Joining the organization, toggle Invitations are required for joining this organization.

{!save-changes.md!}

{end_tabs}

Change who can send invitations

{start_tabs}

{settings_tab|organization-permissions}

  1. Under Joining the organization, configure Who can send email invitations to new users and Who can create reusable invitation links.
