If you really need this feature, you could subscribe to the BeforeNodeRender/AfterNodeRender event to remove the create user/member from the context menu in case the number of users/members has exceeded a certain number.

Thanks Dirk,

There's some really good ideas amongst those examples. But I'm looking for something automated.

Where I can limit the number of Members who register to the website. i.e. 100, 300, 500, etc.

The same for the Users as well, but this might not be as simple as the Member limitation.

Does anyone have any ideas?

Cheers,

So, what exactly is automated? If you remove the items from the context menu, isn't that automated enough? Anyway, maybe an even better solution (which will work in both back- end frontend for limiting) is to build your own membership provider for members/users (can inherit from the umbraco providers) and override the CreateUser() method, and do not create users/members if number has exceeded a predefined number.
