Can this be used to emulate 'access rules' in Drupal 7?

Is there an easier way to, for example, block all users that do not have email addresses from a certain institution?

Edit: Found the Rules module does it. Sorry for the spam, folks.

RULES :D omg, great idea ;)

RULES :D omg, great idea ;) thx

question on 'user' vs 'account'

I'm relatively clueless about php but trying to add a subscription for all new users, and finding a problem: if admin adds a user, then the $account value is admin. Is it possible to grab or construct the new user object from the $edit object? Does it exist at this point?
