Allow users invited by staff to skip approval

What do you all think?

1. When must approve users admin setting enabled
2. Toggle is shown to staff on the invite modal to create an invite that bypasses approval requirement. e.g. [ ] Do not require approval by staff
3. Invites redeemed when toggle in (2) is selected let the user into the site without requiring approval

The assumption is that only staff should have access to this toggle, because the intent of the must approve users setting is to give staff control over who is allowed to join the community.

I believe that would work really nicely (perhaps with @Stephen’s tweak too) - and love that it is a person-centered approach that shouldn’t break anything as it would leave the default machinery completely intact.

An edge case of super high importance to me however would be automatic email invites related to group invitations. This allows people to be added to a group OR sent an invitation depending on if they are already signed up via a single admin act. Personally, I’d really need this to be covered somehow too.
