XF 2.2 Where do I view a list of users awaiting approval

[CBI Web]

When new users are awaiting approval, where do I go to find out who they are?

It’s in the Approval queue under the moderator dropdown.

Oh, okay.... so I need to keep myself as a Super Moderator and not just Admin, in order to see that dropdown? That's the only place to see it?

I believe so. I am already both mod and admin, though, so I see everything for both and am not sure how it appears if you are just an admin.

The Moderator dropdown was there after installing XF, and since I'm a Super Admin I took myself off the Super Mod list, since I can do everything, and the dropdown disappeared. I'm surprised the dropdown isn't there for Admin by default.

Ensure your staff are assigned as moderators, simply being in the moderator group is not enough.
Moderator status has always been required for certain functions.
Just assigning permissions isn't enough.

Administration and Moderation are two separate functions, you can be one or the other or both.

Just think of it like this. Admins are back end use only(ACP) and Moderators are front end(actual forum).

^ that.

To quote myself ...

Remember that in XF administrators have enhanced permissions for the back end (ACP), moderators have enhanced permissions for the front end.

A member can be neither, one or the other, or both, but administrators != moderators.

Thanks, Brogan. Yet another reminder that being away from all this for almost 10 years... it's not like riding a bike. lol
