Propose new functionalities for Decidim software
#DecidimRoadmap Designing Decidim together
May be against the "open democracy" ideology and all but we have modified a Decidim instance which requires users to log in before they can access any page in the system.
The reason is that the organization wanted to use Decidim's features openly within their organization but they don't want anyone outside of their organization to be able to access this information. They have e.g. idea collection there that may be a violation to employee's privacy in case that information was public but within that organization, it is OK to be visible for all.
Therefore, I think this should be a feature in Decidim, it would open up new use cases for the system as an open democracy tool for oranizations like "Let your employees participate to the decision making inside your organization".
This could be a configuration under the "system admin" panel where you would check a box which would then force users to log in as in the example screenshot.
The development of this proposal has finished
- It is funded by Esquerra Republicana de Catalunya.
- Has been reviewed by Decidim Product and complies with the Social Contract.

Where can I find the source code for this instance, would be interested to take a look.
They have probably done something similar as what we did (i.e. adding the before action) but we also added a layout modification to hide the menus/other content before the user is logged in.

Thanks!
From that repository I can find the following changes they have done to achieve this:
- Added a new before action in application controller as we did as well. But they didn't make it configurable, it is just hard coded for this instance.
- Added redirects to the sign_up and profile editing paths to root in the config/routes.rb. We just handled this all on the controller level.
- The have made their own Decidim fork to remove the sign in link from the header. We just hid the whole top bar before the user is logged in instance specifically (in case the configuration option is enabled) + removed the "registerable" module from Decidim::User.
The last change is not optimal as it adds a small overhead to their Decidim upgrade process.
