Putting non validated members into group

[FFOC]

Me again, I am getting my head around the ACP settings in IPS4.4. 
 

My groups go from guest (unregistered) into Restricted members (registered but not subscribed) I can make a group for called validating and would like all new registered users to go into this group until they validate their email, once this is done then they will be promoted to the registered members group. I don’t seem to be able to make this rule in the promotions or anywhere.

 

Is it possible? I basically don’t want non validated members to be able to submit content for approval at all but can’t find the option for this.

There is not an option for this. Unvalidated members no longer have a group like they did in 3.x

Thank you for the reply. I thought that would be the case. I have set the remove unvalidated members timeframe to remove them after a set period so will see how that is. Do you know if that removes previous members who have still not validated? I hope so.

Any unvalidated member that is older than the cut off will be removed.
