In Sympa, a lot of actions are ruled by authorization scenarios. They allow a rich expression of who can or can't do an action.

Please see the doc regarding authorization scenarios:
https://www.sympa.org/manual/index#authorization_scenarios

You should have a look, particularly, to the part regarding implicit scenario inclusion, which allows to include rules to any scenario in a virtual host.

The scenario you will need to modify are :
- visibility for the list's visibility
- subscribe and create_list for you subscription and list creation.

Bonjour;

I have just installed sympa 5.3.4 on debian testing, with mysql back
end. I would like this particular sympa site to be private, in the
sense that new users are not accepted via wwsympa or via email, and
only a list that I preload can see all of the lists and subscribe (and
even create more).

The only way so far I could see to this would be to make a very
complicated regexp in auth.conf, something like

user_table
address@concealedaddress@concealed

I have about 30 users (yeah, not really the intended application of sympa)
Can anyone suggest a less nasty way of accomplishing the same thing?

David
