Community Group RequireApproval

Hi there, I have set the "RequireApproval" property of the "Group Registration" web part to false, but my users still can't create groups automatically without waiting for the Admin's approval. Are there more settings I need to change for this to happen? Maybe related to the user's permission level or something like that?

Thanks for the help.

RE:Community Group RequireApproval

Hello,

I have tested this and was unable to reproduce the issue with the latest hotfix, the group registration is honoring the approval setting. Have you set the RequireApproval property in the web part properties dialog, or are you setting it in code? Have you made any customizations to the web part or module?

There are some additional steps that could help:
Clear cache and restart the application in CMS Site Manager -> Administration -> System
Clear browser cache (ctrl + shitft + delete) and force refresh the site (ctrl + f5)

Regards,
Josef Dvorak

RE:Community Group RequireApproval

Thanks for the reply Josef.

I tried clearing the cache and restarting the site, that didn't fix my problem.

I was running on version 7.0.21, since you said you tested with the latest hot-fix I upgraded to 7.0.28 (latest, right?) but the problem persisted.

I have set the RequireApproval property in the web part dialog and I haven't made any customizations to the web part.

What I'm doing to test is the following:

- I have imported my users from a staging database. They are regular users with nothing more than a name and an email address. I used the Toolkit to import these.

- I impersonate one of the imported users.

- I create a group and immediately get the message saying the group needs to be approved by the Admin.

- I go back to the CMS Desk as the Admin and I see the group pending for approval.

I don't know what else to try.

Thanks for the help.

Member	cbarton-mig - 3/29/2013 7:38:16 AM RE:Community Group RequireApproval Josef, thanks for the help, I was able to fix this. My problem was that I was actually setting the Default value of the property to false (using the CMS Site Manager), but not the one on the web part itself from the CMS Desk, so it was never actually being set to false. Thanks for everything. C.
