How do I prevent a new user from joining the CMF portal?

http://cmf.zope.org/doc/FAQ/permissions/faq4 does not
address the issue because the user is still presented
with a join form.

Use case #1 is that portal is membership managed
behind a firewall for internal use and membership is closed.

Use case #2 is that portal is new, undergoing construction. Anonymous viewing is allowed,
but is not ready for membership.

Unchecking "Add portal member" in the security tab
of the portal root does in fact prevent anonymous
from joining.

The "Join" action is supplied by the 'portal_registration' tool;  you
can either delete the tool (especially in your first case, where TTW
joining is never going to be allowed) or modify the expression which
guards the action (e.g., guard it with the 'Add portal member'
permission).  In fact, that should probably be the default permission
for the action;  please create a tracker issue for this.
