How does it work?
After the activation of the module and once you have set the configuration to require account activation by an admin user, the following process will be followed.
- At the customer registration, the new customer will be logged-out and a message will notify it that its account is currently waiting for validation.
- The site owner will receive an email notifying them about a new customer waiting for activation.
- Until the account is activated by the admin, customers cannot log in.
- Customers created before the installation are still able to log in and use the site as usual.
- To make an account active, the site owner has to go to the admin panel, edit the customer account and set this value to true: Account is active.
