Account Approval on mode '0'
In this mode the user can Create an Account to access FileCloud but cannot Login . To Login it requires Admin's approval, so the system sends a Approval Pending Email to the Admin. Once Admin approves the user and sets the required Permission like Full User or Guest User. The user receives a email of Approval , and can Login and access FileCloud.
Note
- Approval emails will be sent only if the option "Send Approval Pending Emails" is selected in the Admin UI -> Settings -> Admin.
- If "Send Approval Pending Emails" is unchecked, the account creation will not be notified. In this case, new accounts can get approved only when admin user logs in.
- If "Send Approval Pending Emails" is selected, the emails will be sent to mail id set at Admin UI -> Settings -> Email ->"Email Reply to Address"
