Users pending approval
A user in pending approval state requires action by an administrator. A user sign up can be in a pending approval state because an administrator has enabled either, or both, of the following options:
When a user registers for an account while this setting is enabled:
- The user is placed in a Pending approval state.
- The user sees a message telling them their account is awaiting approval by an administrator.
A user pending approval:
- Is functionally identical to a blocked user.
- Cannot sign in.
- Cannot access Git repositories or the GitLab API.
- Does not receive any notifications from GitLab.
- Does not consume a seat.
An administrator must approve their sign up to allow them to sign in.
