Description

This is only possible with $wgGroupPermissions['*']['upload'] = true; set in LocalSettings.php which should rather be avoided. So allowing new people to upload e.g. a profile photo or some resumee or CV only during the registration process will indeed be a nice feature.

Research direction

Start with the registration flow and the LocalSettings.php upload-permission requirement described in the issue. Determine how profile photos or resumes should be accepted only during registration without enabling general uploads. Done means a new registrant can upload the intended file while unrestricted users still cannot upload files.
