Moderator privilege to approve new members

[WebCMS]

Please add this feature as apparently, only Admins can approve new members.

If you want your moderators to manage members in the front end:

[WebCMS]

For approvals by moderators, there should be an option in the ACP -

(o) Moderators should wait for new members to confirm their email address before they can approve account

However, Admins should be able to wait for confirmation before approving new members or Admins should be able to approve new accounts even before receiving the member confirmation.

Generally, there is a single Admin and multiple moderators. In the event the admin is unavailable, this feature will help with new user account approvals in a timely manner for a better UX

There is: turn them into Administrators and give them access to Manage Members permission. IPS4 works like this: Moderators perform actions in the front-end. Administrators on Admin CP.

Of course, both can do everything in both areas but you need to give them proper permission.

That may be ideal for a site like invisioncommunity.com or developer sites that develop plugins/apps. That's not ideal for every site. Most sites usually give restricted Mod permissions, leave alone admin rights.

You can restrict 99,9% of your ACP to a specific group or member and leave only the permission you need:

Will try that. Thanks.

It works. However, it would be graceful to provide this option (for Moderators to approve members) in a future update within ModCP to limit moderators to their ModCP UI and in one place for a unified experience instead of switching between ACP and ModCP which is not intuitive. It will also keep mods out of ACP.

I've developed an app that does that should you be interested.
