Add account creation check

Created on 19 November 2025, 2 months ago

Problem/Motivation

It is recommended that only administrators can create new accounts, so setting "Who can register accounts?" to "Administrators only" under /admin/config/people/accounts is good practice.

Steps to reproduce

Proposed resolution

Check if "Who can register accounts?" is set to "Administrators only".

Remaining tasks

Add a new "Account creation" check, which checks if "Who can register accounts?" is set to "Administrators only".

  • Title: Account creation
  • Review results title: Only administrators can create new accounts.

  • Review results text: Attackers commonly attempt to register a new account. It is good practice to only allow administrators to create new accounts, see Configuring User Account Settings β†’ .
  • Check fail text: Not only administrators can register new accounts.
