Hi there,

I've successfully integrated JFBConnect on my site. My site is one that has restricted membership (for people in my profession), so I don't want to allow just anyone with a facebook account to have access. Is there a way to restrict access once a user has logged on through facebook, until I can confirm that the user should have full access to the site?

Thanks.

If there isn't a way to do this yet, I'd like to "second the motion". Limiting access is pretty important.

We don't support this ability yet, but this thread is making us investigate it more thoroughly. It would take some work, so it'd be great if you could list out some usage cases that you'd like to see.

- Join from a specific Facebook network only? We'd have to investigate if this is possible, but think it is
- Join but be 'unapproved' until an admin approves you?
- Other?

Again, there is no timeline we can provide for getting this up (or even a guarantee that we'll do it), but would like to narrow down the idea to come up with an integration path.

Is JFB Connect overriding the monitor restrictions in Community Builder? If so, this is bad. We are doing a site for youth and part of the concept is limited or monitored membership. I would like JFB Connect to just hand off access to Community Builder for approval.

sourcecoast .. hi

here what a developer from facebook said

You can't prevent people from using the Connect login if you provide it, but you can certainly, upon authentication, decide what functionality to provide to users based on aspects of their profile. So for instance, if you only want a particular university's student to use your app, you can just condition the functionality based on that field in their profile.

so its possible to restrict it upon some field in ppl profile

any news about this feature being considerd ?
thanks

We really haven't researched it enough as there are other requests that are higher priority. From what I had read and people asked, I thought you could, but it's possible that you can't. If we start researching more, we'll definitely post here to let you know what we find.
