I've installed the FrontEndUsers module along with SelfRegistration and it's working just fine and likely as intended.  I was wondering if it might support a capability I'm trying to address:

The scenario I'm trying to support would have a two step registration procedure:

1) The user self-registers and validates the e/mail registry as is provided for in FrontEndUsers and SelfRegistration.

2) After self-registration, the ability to Login would not be allowed until after an administrator activates the front-end user.  (This is intended as a security check to determin if the user actually meets the criteria to access the site.)

E-mail prompting of the administrator (of a new applicant) and notice of final activation (to the user) would be nice features.

It seems to me this is a fairly common situation so I'm wondering if anyone has implemented it using FrontEndUsers. 

Actually, this functionality isn't quite there.  I was getting to it, but haven't finished it yet.

Most people I know just have people register to a 'pending' group with SelfRegistration, and then manually move them into an 'authorized' group when they've completed the registration process.  There's the 'only_groups' parameter that only allows members of certain groups to logon that may be of use to you.

But there is no email notification to the admin at this point.

I noticed in the Preferences tab that there's an ability to notify (via e/mail) the person you'd select to overview the accounts.  So, this helps.

It's definitely close.  I think I understand the current work-around and will try implementing with what you've suggested most are doing.  It makes sense as an interim solution.

Thanks...

The workaround procedure works fine.  The fact that the system can produce an e-mail notice of a new user to a designated administrator gives an appropriate tap on the shoulder to remind that person to review the new users.

Thanks for the assist...
