User activation process

It would be nice to know how the user activation process is done since there are no controls of the process readily available in the admin section.

1) how to set the registration process for new users

new users are created by super adminstrator
new users must be approved (activated) by adminstrator
new users are automatically registered and activated

2) how to activate or de-activate a user accounts

3) how to set what role a automatically regsitered and activated user gets

    On point 3, I think I can help. look at site.ini file:

    [UserSettings]
    # If true it will automatically generate a password if it is empty
    # and email it to the user.
    GeneratePasswordIfEmpty=true
    GeneratePasswordLength=6
    # The ID of the anonymous user, this user will
    # be used for everyone who is not logged in.
    AnonymousUserID=10
    # Where to store newly self registered users
    DefaultUserPlacement=12

    So a registered, activated user should go into the "Guest Accounts" user group by default. of course, you may change that behavior.

      My users aren't automatically being added to the Guest Accounts group, they are instead sent to the Admin's pending list. How do I bypass this step and have them automatically approved?
