I believe that being able to add users from the admin panel is on the list for a 4.x release. You might look through the 4.0 Suggestions forum to be sure.

What you could do for right now is in Manage Settings -> Login & Registration, set the Registration Type to Admin Approval. You will have to manually approve everyone that signs up, but that will give you not only notice of who is signing up (and the ability to immediately move them into other groups), but also allow you to reject anyone who shouldn't sign up. I don't believe there is a setting to simply notify the admin upon every registration when then Registration Method is set to Email Confirm or Auto.

We want to have private and public groups. All require user accounts. We'd like to manually add user accounts, then send emails to people with these account names and passwords.

If that's not possible, we'd like to be notified when new people register. If any VIPs sign up, we want to give them access to the private groups ASAP.

Do either of these options currently exist? (I couldn't find them in the admin CP.) If not, are they on a to-add list?

Thanks,
Jeff
