Describe the feature you'd like
As a admin of a BookStack installation, I would like to have the option to restrict registration to just Slack, but not via e-mail.

Describe the benefits this feature would bring to BookStack users
I would be only allow slack users with access to a specific workspace to register an account, but disallow users to register via email.

Additional context
If the development team agrees, that this is a feature worth implementing, I would be willing to put the work in to get it implemented

Thanks for the suggestion @csicar.
This would probably be a level of configuration I would be apprehensive to go down to.
Might be okay if it can be implemented in a simple manner via just one .env configuration option.

To implement in the required format though, this may be dependant of #1090 since we don't currently provide the mechanisms to properly independently disable to primary auth method.

For your specific scenario, are you sure the "Automatic Registration" option described on this page doesn't already provide the required functionality? Enabling this for should allow auto-registration via the slack option on the login page, while leaving registrations disabled for email sign-up.

Oh yes, that's exactly what I'm looking for. Thank you! I don't know how I missed that.
