Approving registrations automatically

You can approve a site registration, or a registration to a group, automatically by adjusting the groups registration settings as follows:

Select the group that you wish to approve registrations automatically. If it's for site registrations then it would be your contact database, if it's applications to a group then you'd select the appropraite user group folder .
Click on the tab; the summary view will be displayed shortly afterwards.
Select the advanced options link at the bottom of the page; the properties options for this group will appear below.
Under the advanced options will be a section titled Application Options. Set the "Automatically approve applications to this group from:" setting to be what is required. e.g. on the contact database group this would be set to "Visitors to the site". Note: If the automatically approve option is disabled it's because the group doesn't allow registrations, thus they can't be automaticaly approved. If this is the case change the setting above to allow registrations first.
