[Distutils] Free GSOC idea: Site Setup -> Users & Groups -> [ ] Disable logins

[Alex Clark]

On IRC yesterday, Spanktar asked a question that comes up every so 
often (paraphrasing):


  "How do I disable logins while I do some maintenance on my Plone site?"


Various suggests were offered, including davisagli's (paraphrasing):


  "I usually disable all the PAS auth plugins in acl_users"


DING DING DING: LIGHT BULB MOMENT. I've seen this question asked enough 
times to think it might be nice if there were a checkbox in Site Setup 
-> Users & Groups to make it easy for end users to perform this action, 
if only someone were willing to do the work…
