Hi, I’m looking to bulk approve users, but am running into issues even approving one user through the UI. The button looks “greyed out” and when I press approve I get an internal server error. I’m on version 2.5.0.beta3, commit hash 0e4db91870 Inspecting the logs I get Reviewable::InvalidAction (Can't peform `approve_user` on ReviewableUser) /var/www/discourse/app/models/reviewable.rb:346:in `perform' While the log message is clear I’m not sure what the correct user action is for me to approve this user. Here’s what I get in the firefox console [image] Here’s what my UI looks like [image] Once this is resolved I would like to bulk approve users in a manner that they all get the associated emails. If I do a bulk update as shown below (and in this thread Bulk deleting / mass modifying users) will that ensure they get emails? If so what would the equivalent command be? (Similar to the one below) User.joins(:user_stat).where("user_stats.post_count = 0 AND user_stats.topic_count = 0").destroy_all Thank you in advance for any help!

Continued doing research and I found this thread. However I don’t have anything in my review queue, and the user seems to be activated already [image] New user approval broken in 2.3 beta 7? Bug Dear all, I’m trying to approve a new user in Discourse 2.3 beta 7 (v2.3.0.beta7 +3) but clicking on the “Approve” button in the user’s page has no effect. Looking into the logs, I can see an error 500 coming from the server, though. See below. Message (18 copies reported) Reviewable::InvalidAction (Can't peform `approve` on ReviewableUser) /var/www/discourse/app/models/reviewable.rb:208:in `perform' Backtrace /var/www/discourse/app/models/reviewable.rb:208:in `perform' /var/www/discourse…

Another update, if I deactivate the user, then click activate, I can then approve the user. Why is this? [image]

Last update. In short I had to deactivate each user, activate each user, then approve. I imported from vbulletin 3 so not sure if I put my discourse instance in a bad state. I wrote a script that hits the api in a loop over all users to do so. It’s running right now but will post here when its done.

Hi, Do you have some news about it ?

Can't seem to approve users?
