Require approval for certain roles

[helgatheviking]

I don't know that I need it anymore, but there are 3 other people looking for this now. I saw that you have a "pro" version so you might want to consider adding this as a feature.

Thanks for taking the time to let me know. I am definitely considering adding this.

I do have one question for you though. Is this a feature you wanted because you modified the default role assigned to a user? Or are you using a plugin that auto assigns a role to a user based on some criteria? What is the exact use case that you were trying to resolve?

I believe my client at the time had two forms. One form auto created a user of a specific role. The other form was form creating a different type of user and it was this second user (wholesaler account) that needed approval. Hope that helps.

That helps. Thank you.

I'd like to second this feature. I have a similar scenario to helgatheviking wherein I have two types of registrations happing on the site: One does not require approval, but the other (which when approved gives access to discounted pricing) does.

I also want this feature.. where only one type of user role needs to get their account approved.

I'd also like to second this feature - if it would have this it would have been an instabuy ;-) perhaps you could add a filter that allows a dev to modify the array of user roles that should require approval (so you can still default to all then to avoid issues with people updating and having a different expectation pattern). for me it's the same use case as @helgatheviking mentioned.
