Activate Users plugin for Craft CMS
===================================

[](#activate-users-plugin-for-craft-cms)

Plugin that adds "Activate account" permissions so that non-admins can activate users.

Installation
------------

[](#installation)

To install Activate Users, follow these steps:

1. Download & unzip the file and place the `activateusers` directory into your `craft/plugins` directory
2. -OR- do a `git clone https://github.com/billythekid/activateusers.git` directly into your `craft/plugins` folder. You can then update it with `git pull`
3. -OR- install with Composer via `composer require billythekid/activateusers` from your site root (the same directory your craft folder is in)
4. Install plugin in the Craft Control Panel under Settings > Plugins
5. The plugin folder should be named `activateusers` for Craft to see it. GitHub recently started appending `-master` (the branch name) to the name of the folder for zip file downloads.

Activate Users works on Craft 2.4.x and Craft 2.5.x.

Activate Users Overview
-----------------------

[](#activate-users-overview)

This plugin adds a user permission to allow users to activate users. This is normally done by admin accounts only but sometimes you want a "semi-admin" account without full admin privileges to be able to do this. When a user has this permission set and is viewing another user's dashboard page, the option to activate that user will appear in their "cog" menu.

Configuring Activate Users
--------------------------

[](#configuring-activate-users)

This plugin has no configuration options. Just install it and give the users (or user groups) that you want to be able to activate users that permission.

Using Activate Users
--------------------

[](#using-activate-users)

Non-admin accounts with the permission should visit an unverified/not yet activated account in the dashboard. Here they can choose to activate the user by way of the "cog" menu (at the top right in a full/desktop view)

Activate Users Roadmap
----------------------

[](#activate-users-roadmap)

There are no plans to add more features to this plugin.
