User login

Giving more people the power to approve subscriptions or memberships to a group

Client request, regarding a an e-mail for subscription requests to 'Example Mentors' from 'newusername' which she received through the site:

> To instantly approve this request, visit
> http://www.example.com/og/approve/407/581.
> You may deny this request or manage subscribers at
> http://www.example.com/og/users/407

1. Would you please be so kind as to ensure that a duplicate of this automatically generated type of email is also sent to [another lovely person].
2. Would you also please ensure that both myself and [the same lovely person] have approval authority on this (it should no longer be just [yet another lovely but no longer all-powerful person]).

To the Agaric-er in most direct contact with our client, I wrote:

Here is where you want-- not in the administrative settings so much as navigating to the group page (which can be found from the list of groups at /og) and then clicking "members" which in this case is called "subscribers" and going to the list view...

example.com/og/users/407

[Yes, this is the same link the very e-mail directs us to use. And no, I didn't click it either.]

From here they can approve backlogged users AND go to any approved user (so [aforementioned lovely person]) and make her an admin. Which I just did. So my guess is she'll receive those e-mails too.

And further presumably, the permission to approve and deny users.

You need a person's exact username to add them to a group because this one part of Organic Groups is a bit archaic. There is a userplus module that improves this, I think.

Resolution

Searched words: 
look around in OG settings and maybe admin/user/access (or permissions), the by-role thing username
