User group help

[shadedurza]

So right now I have a mdeiawiki set up so that you can only edit pages if you are a member. I want to know if its possible to create a user group that disables everything besides viewing and have new users automatically put in this group. Possibly call this group "Not Active" so that I could put accounts that are no longer active in it as well. Then as the bureaucrat I could move them out of it.

you could also install the ConfirmAccount extension, thus only allowing those who you want to have accounts to be able to have them
