Restrict account creation
This feature is only available to organization owners.
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:
