I was on
[https://github.com/discourse/discourse/compare/8ad2db7d2b159e37063f89f6db8527c63594f3c9...master](https://github.com/discourse/discourse/compare/8ad2db7d2b159e37063f89f6db8527c63594f3c9...master)
but I’ve updated my self-hosted instance to latest and an issue remains.
I approved a new user, and it was removed from the pending list, but now they show as Approved: No, without a button to approve them.
This is the error that happened

When did that error happen?

Many times today, here’s a screenshot (this is in CST). I’ve highlighted the time when I was approving the account.
I see that my docker image [must be out of date](https://meta.discourse.org/t/no-longer-getting-notifications-for-out-of-date-containers/32121/1), so I’ve just pulled, will rebuild the container in a few.

I’ve just fully rebuilt (and added newrelic this time) and registered a new test user.
the user is not approved, there is no Approve button when viewing it via Admin
I get this error:

I bet I could attempt to approve it from the pending user list, but will wait to hear back

Smells like a missing model.

Know where I could find a new model? 😉
I think I’m stuck until one shows up here:
