We have extensive documentation on how to configure LDAP authentication/authorization in GitLab, but nowhere do we mention the effect of Sign-up or Sign-in restrictions in association with LDAP (or other external auth). We should somehow find a way to make it clear that users will still be able to register and/or sign in using local accounts no matter what external auth they configure, unless they disable these two items.
