Outside of the process outlined below by using the rails c console in the _backend_, is there a process from the _frontend_ where I can convert a staged user into a regular, non-staged, registered one?

The person who owns that email address can come and sign up for a new account. Then they will go from being staged to being registered, and have access to any PMs already exchanged.
