I'd like to set it up so that only people approved for a program can become a member. I've figured out a manual way: Under Email Config, check the "Verfiy E-Mail Address On Signup" box and fix the email copy to list their login/pword with url confirm link and state their account is pending Sign them up myself through the signup page (ensuring 'generate password' is checked) - they then get the email stating they're approved and to activate their membership and make payment This works but I'm wondering if there is a better way or something a bit more automated. If you know of one, please share!
