New User Sign Up/Registration

[Dan]

Hi,

I've customized devise so that sign-up/registration is restricted to
"admin" users. However, whenever I register a new user, upon
successful registration I am logged in as the newly created user. Does
anyone know how to change this behavior so that upon successful
registration I maintain my original login user? Thanks.

Devise registration module is not supposed to be used as admin registration for users.

In any case, you'd have to copy over registrations#create action and remove the sign_in call that is probably existent there, which means you do need a custom controller for that.

How else can I restrict registration rights to admins? Is there a
admin module?

Thanks for the help.

The best way to allow an "admin" to manage users, is to create your own users controller and restrict access to it. This way Devise won't bother you in any way.
