    Is there a way to register users without approving them automatically, instead allowing them to be approved manually by an admin later? So far the best idea we have is having the form assign a role of "Unapproved" and then having the admin change the role when they are ready, but we were wondering if there is a way to make it a one click process.

    EDIT: Not sure if this should be in this forum or the Front End Submit forum. IF it needs to be moved, let me know.

    Hi John,

    You can use the attribute role to set the default role for the registered users. Read more on the documentation https://docs.metabox.io/extensions/mb-user-profile/#registration-form

    [mb_user_profile_register id="meta-box-id" role="test-role"]

    That is what we ended up doing. For anyone in the same boat, we ended up using a role of "Pending" that was a duplicate of the Subscriber role.

    [mb_user_profile_register id="meta-box-id" role="pending"]

    Then as part of the approval process, the admin changes the role to "Approved" which has the capabilities we want, then we use another plugin to fire off the account activation and all of that stuff.

    Thanks for the help!

    John, can you share what plugin do you use, please?
