Is it possible to submit an iOS app to the App Store, where the content requires login/password and the publisher keeps control over who can have the account? It's somewhat like an Enterprise Distribution, except we don't want to be limited to the employes of the company. This way we could also give access to the content to selected clients.
Can't comment yet, so I'll clarify here.
I know about the reviewer account thing and I've used that before. My question is about restricting acces to the application to the general public but not only to company's employees (as in Enterprise Dist.). Also there's no plan on selling the access thus we shouldn't fall under In App Purchase restrictions.
@markhunte: Yes, like FB, except the content is not necessarily online, it may as well be all in the app bundle, and the user registration is at the company's discretion.

In iTunes Connect, you can provide a username and password for Apple to use to test your application:
However, if your intentions are to not let Apple have access to this content your app will be rejected, plain and simple.
