Hi,
I'm setting up a wiki which isn't allowed to be viewed by anyone but a select group of people (which I want to be able to select from registered people). I've already found a way to prevent anonymous people from reading or editing anything (redirect to login page). But I even want registered users not be able to read/edit anything unless they're allowed/validated by me. Is there a way to have registered people go trough an admin validation before they're completely registered ?
I also tried making a new usergroup with all the original user access and set user permissions on false. But this didn't quite work since it also didn't allow me to access anything.

How come? Aren't you the sysop of your wiki to whom those prohibitive settings should not apply?

I have suggested this: add to LocalSettings.php (and add users by hand as WikiSysop)...
$wgWhitelistRead = array ( "Main Page", "Special:Userlogin", "Wikipedia:Help");
$wgEnableUserEmail = true;
$wgGroupPermissions['*' ]['createaccount'] = false; $wgGroupPermissions['*' ]['read'] = false; $wgGroupPermissions['*' ]['edit'] = false; $wgGroupPermissions['*' ]['search'] = false;
$wgGroupPermissions['user' ]['move'] = true; $wgGroupPermissions['user' ]['read'] = true; $wgGroupPermissions['user' ]['edit'] = true; $wgGroupPermissions['user' ]['upload'] = true; $wgGroupPermissions['user' ]['search'] = true;
