How to enable "new user validation" by moderators ?

Post by wollastoni »

Hello

I would like my moderators to be able to validate or refuse "new user request".
But I don't want them to be admin though (I don't want them to have access to the full ACP).

Is there a technical way or an extension to do so ?
I have checked the Global Moderators Permissions and don't see any "new user validation" options.

Thanks a lot for your help

They would need the admin permission of 'can manage users'.

That lets them see user profiles and do anything you can also do in there (with the exception of making them a founder). But they would not be able to see or do anything else in the admin panel.

KevC said : "They would need the admin permission of 'can manage users'."

Easiest is to make a new group. Call it something like admin users so you know what it's for.
Put the mods you want in to it.

Then
Permissions
administrators
Select that group bottom right and edit permissions
advanced
users and groups tab
Can manage users

Everyone in that group will then have that permission and if you want to change who can do it you just add or remove them from that group.
