We are soft-launching our forum and currently have the users set up like this:

When a user logs in, they need to be approved. But I (admin) [don’t get any notification when a user signs up](https://meta.discourse.org/t/being-notified-receiving-email-notification-when-new-users-sign-up/10438). This is a case where it’d be really helpful if that feature were implemented.

Had a few users hanging around waiting for me to approve them, unbeknownst to me.

I just tried adding me as a moderator to see if that does anything (do admins need to be explicitly set as moderators for any reason?)
