I'm creating an educational community site for a district and I want to require registration in order to access files in PhocaDownload. I'm going to input the registered members on the back end (either manually or with CBJuice - there's only 40-45 users). I'd like to have anyone who registers via the register link on the login form be set automatically as Guest users and I don't want them to have any profiles. Is this possible and if so, how?
No, don't do that. They won't be able to access your site. At minimum they should be Registered. You also can't remove profiles from select users. I suggest enabling moderator approval so you have to approve their registration before they can login if you want screen users.

Actually, all I had to do was to set the default user level to Guest on the Joomla side and remove the "go to profile on first login" link and this worked quite well so far. Guest users are able to login and access the file resources, but since the lists and menus are limited in scope to registered users only, they cannot see their profiles nor the options to edit them.
Since the actual working group users are all going to be entered manually via the back end, the only ones who need the register link are the guests.
I have another question about this set up if you don't mind. Now that I have the initial setup working and the users are in the proper ACL groups, what I'd like to do is make sure that only the Registered users have profiles and the guests do not.
Can I use the "ban" feature to do this?
What CB Field controls whether a user is banned or not?
Can I use the CB auto actions plugin to automate this or will I have to manually ban a user as a moderator?
Any guidance you give will be greatly appreciated!
What CB Field controls whether a user is banned or not?
None, it uses internal database columns in the _comprofiler table.
Can I use the CB auto actions plugin to automate this
Yes, you can ban someone using a Query action and the below query.
Code:
UPDATE `#__comprofiler` SET `banned` = 1, `banneddate` = NOW(), `bannedreason` = 'Guests do not have profile access.' WHERE `id` = '[user_id]'

OK, I can see it now. Here's how I have the autoaction set up; if you could just verify that I have it done correctly:
Title = Auto Ban
Desc = Set Guest user to be banned on registration
Type = Query
Triggers = onAfterUserRegistration
User = Automatic (not sure what goes here)
Access = All Non-Registered Users
Conditionals = joom_usergroups IS EQUAL TO Guest (didn't use single quotes,not sure if I need to)
Query Action - Your Query above, Mode set to Internal
