I am hoping someone can help me figure out why it is saying that I have something thats needs to be approved, but when I click into the interface doesn’t let me know whats up or how I can address it? Is anyone else having this issue? If so what can I do about it? ![image](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/meta/original/3X/a/5/a57a954db5b01c7f7ec2fe1abc1f42e7b1acdc1f.png) ![image](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/meta/original/3X/5/6/5653c71242dc237b18611cb3b93d74e849898978.png) ---

It seems that this might have something to do with the **Assign Plugin** that I recently installed; today when playing around with this plugin, another rogue _ **“Need Approval”** _ notification which I cannot dismiss or action has appeared along side the first that was reported in my first post. Looking back in hindsight, the first notification also appeared when playing around with the Assign Plugin feature. Hopefully this provides the dev team with a clue as to where to look when trying to isolate this bug. Thanks ---

The assign plugin should not affect user approval. Do you have `invite only` or `must approve users` enabled? ---
