Admin approval

@pitaj I think he means to say that whenever a new user signs up, the admin needs to approve the account before the account is active.

yes, it's true. sorry my bad English

@tgezginis It looks like this feature is set up to be added in future versions of NodeBB.
In the mean time, you can do the following to do what you want:- Create a new group called
Authorizedor something - In the category section in the ACP, configure the
Access Controlon the categories to only allow users in theAuthorizedgroup to create topics and reply to topics. - When a new user signs up, authorize them by adding them to the
Authorizedgroup
- Create a new group called

It's nice solution, but we have ~3.000 users. It will be hard work.
I'm working on new plugin. (https://github.com/tgezginis/nodebb-plugin-approval) It's only add user to non-approved group and remove from registered-users group on signup. But when I want to approve user I can't add to registered-users group. I have to solve this problem. If someone want to help me, please pull-request with commits.

'registered-users' it's a system group(hidden group)
AFAIK you should never remove users from it and I'm pretty sure there is another way to get exactly what you want, while avoiding removing users from this group. -
I'd also be against removing users from the
registered-usersgroup. Having your plugin add a new system group calledapproved-userswould be ideal. To get a list of users awaiting approval (for showing in the ACP page, for example), you could do a diff of the registered users group against the approved users group (using this redis method, for example). I don't believe our DBAL supportsSDIFFyet, but we can add it for you if you'd like. -

I'd propose create two groups
- approved-users
- non-approved-users
obviously when you're adding users to approved, you have to remove them from non-approved
so getting a list of users will be much easier and faster than redis SDIFF and etc -

Okay, I'll try to help you to develop this plugin. I can start today
Go PM. -
@tgezginis While you was ignoring me in PM and I was in doubt, whether it worth to develop the plugin as my own plugin, without you, @pichalite already wrote the plugin!
