Approved to see products

Is there a way to set it so a customer needs to be approved to see products.

I want them to be able to see the main page text and stuff, but i want them to have to be approved to see any products

Might peek in the Configuration ... Customer Details ...

Customer Approval Status - Authorization Pending
Customer must be Authorized to shop
0= Not required
1= Must be Authorized to Browse
2= May browse but no prices unless Authorized
3= Customer May Browse and May see Prices but Must be Authorized to Buy

It is recommended that Option 2 or 3 be used for the purposes of Spiders

NOTE: you kill any chances of spiders ...

#2 is a better choice where there are products, just no prices until approved
