Configure Global Website Access Settings 

To prevent non-registered customers from accessing the OroCommerce storefront, you can disable website access by non-authenticated visitors. This can be done globally, per organization and per website:

When guest access is disabled:

  • New users can register if self-registration is enabled in Commerce > Customer > Customer Users > Registration Allowed.

  • Guest users can register if self-registration is allowed, even if the website access is closed.

  • Guest users cannot access any website pages, except for the login/forgot/reset password page.

  • Guest users are redirected to the login page when they try to access the homepage.
