I am receiving a deluge of approval requests and I don’t understand why. [21%20AM] These are called “flags” according to the constant emails that I get telling me that I need to pay attention to them. When I review the “flags” they are classified with the description “needs approval”. No further…

I have the same problem on two sites, one of which is also login required, so all users are approved before they can log in as reported here . I upgraded the site yesterday, so it’s pretty darn close to latest.

@eviltrout is trying to reproduce the problem, we will keep you informed

Hi, Can you help me reproduce this issue? I have a couple of questions: Did all the users appear at once after you upgraded? Or have they been appearing throughout the day? Did you turn off must approve users after you saw the users, or was it off already?

[image] forumer: Hi, I’m using SSO to create users, have “invite only” checked These settings are incompatible. There is a fix if you update Discourse that disables the setting and prevents it from being enabled.

Thank you for your fast answer and the fix. I have upgraded now.

Why do I need to approve every visitor?
