I’m using the [SAML SSO](https://meta.discourse.org/t/adding-saml-sso-as-an-option-but-not-enforced/47035) plugin now, and it’s great, but I seem to have a new issue recently. My discourse is a standard docker and is up to date.

If I go to the pending user list `/admin/users/list/pending` I see a number of users “pending review”. However:

> Staff must approve all new user accounts before they are allowed to access the site. WARNING: enabling this for a live site will revoke access for existing non-staff users!

is no longer checked (it used to be before sso)

The users are are receiving email & can browse the site, even to the private Categories which they are granted access to via SSO.

1- The `Pending` tab doesn’t show in admin (the page was my bookmark from when I needed to check this daily) , so does this even matter?

2- Is there some other setting to check to troubleshoot this?
