Description
The Request Access plugin is intended for WordPress website owners who want to allow people to sign up for their website in a controlled way.
Through this plugin, external users can create accounts which are immediately put into “Pending” state. While an account is pending, it can only access content on your website that you designate as “public”. All existing and future site content is private by default except for the required pages (see below).
In your admin area, you can view a list of pending accounts, and then choose to approve or deny their application. The plugin logs all admin actions and allows you to control which account types have access to approve and deny pending accounts. Logs are only visible to admins.
The plugin includes notification emails to administrators (new registrations) and to external users (approved/denied).
