Manual member approvals but can still log in

    Hi,

    Is there a way I can set up the site to allow users to log in even though they are not yet verified? I wanted to create two steps for the users wherein they can first be “registered” on their own, (they will be tagged as PENDING on this state), and second be “verified” with admin approval (they will be tagged as ACTIVE on this state). And then later on I will restrict some features accordingly by custom code depending on if they’re only “registered” or “verified”

    I figured your core plugin already does this but the only blocker I have is that they cannot log in at all when they’re not yet verified, which I need them to be able to do.

    Can you point me in the right direction? I can use the API too if that will allow me to do so. Thanks.

    Our manual approval process requires the account status to be updated to ‘active’ before login is allowed:

    To achieve something similar to what you mentioned, follow these steps:

    1. Use Two Membership Levels:
      • Admin Verification Required: Create this level as the initial entry point where users will register. Set the default account status to ‘active’ so users can log into the site.
      • Main Membership Level: Create this level for access to content. Site admins will review members from the ‘Admin Verification Required’ level and then upgrade them to this level.
