Wordpress handles my user creation, but today I have this user’s approval pending: [approve-user] Clicking Approve leads to a 403 error: [403-error] I’ve never seen a user come up for approval before, so I’m not sure why this one is different. He also looks like every other user in the Admin. …

Okay after looking into it slightly, I suspect the problem here is having SSO + Invite Only was always undefined behavior in Discourse. It doesn’t really make sense to have people log in via SSO but also require an invite. Is disabling invite only an option for you? Why would you need it enabled?

@eviltrout is this on your list?

Could you check the logs again for the server side error? What you’ve included here appears to be a Javascript error which is not the root cause.

The error was on March 29, and /logs only goes back to March 30. I didn’t protect it. Can the log be retrieved elsewhere? Earlier today I tried Approve again and this time it went through without the 403 error. [approved-user]

Unfortunately not. Do you know if you updated your forum since the error appeared? I’m trying to figure out if it’s something we fixed already.

Perhaps completely unrelated, but… my forum started as an import from phpBB, and all my new users show up as “Anonymous user from phpBB3” even though they are not. For example the user from the OP looks like this: [anon-user-phpbb3] EDIT: One more data point, as mentioned here —my invite only has …

Okay now I am wondering if the bug is related to invite only when using SSO, I’m investigating.

Yes - I’ve disabled it already and I can’t recall why it was enabled.

This appears to have been fixed by disabling invite only when SSO is in use. I just had a new user sign up and he was not queued for review. Still on the same version v2.3.0.beta6 +16.

I’m going to see if I can prevent invite only from being set when using SSO.
