Secure Registration Form

How Do I?

Hello, I am pretty new to Expression Engine, my EE is version 3.3.3.

I want to have an exclusive registration form that cannot be accessed via the index page of the website. Originally I wanted to have a specific account for this, say prospective user logs into the website, first page after login catches their username, redirects them to member/register. My only problem is that a logged in user cannot register. Essentially I need a redirect url with my logout.

Thank you for any help!

I’d suggest to use separate user groups for this: have them register, than allow members to access a web form that only changes their member group.

Thanks for the reply! Its a good idea, but that still would mean that anyone could sign up. I haven’t specified earlier, but it is vital that they authenticate through the Expression Engine login system in the first place. That way I could control the access to registration form through giving out the “Registration” account details to individuals I choose.

I am contemplating learning how to create an addon for this purpose
