disable devise user registration and move that functionality to an admin method?

Question

I would like to disable user registration for devise and move the creation of new users to an admin method under an admin namespace.

How could this be accomplished? I have searched and think I have to overrule the devise controllers disabling the custom user registration.

But how to make a new user based on a form under an admin namespace? Anyone done such a thing before and could share some pointers on how to get it done? thank you

Check out the devise Wiki, quite a common question (think this is what you are looking for)
