Hi,

Is there a facility to have a manual approval step in the user
creation process?

Would this be an acceptable patch to jetspeed?

I imagine it would be an optional feature, that is off by default. 
You'd configure it in the jetspeedresources.properties - perhaps by
supplying an email address for the approver.

This would then include the confirmation link, so that the user can
be authorised - and probably a reject link too.

In either case, an email would be sent to the user, notifying them of
the decision.

Alternatively/additionally this could be done through the user admin
portlet - with accept/reject links next to each un-approved user.  I
guess the existing confirm_value column could be used to hold this
information - pending/accepted/rejected - although a new column would
probably be the best route.

Regards,
Chris
