Is there a way?

You have to promote them before they can even access any admin pages, like “write post”. * [tyrun101](https://wordpress.org/support/users/tyrun101/) * (@tyrun101) * [19 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/approve-registered-users/#post-431150) * [@maerk](https://wordpress.org/support/users/maerk/): but in some instances you want to be able to filter out everyone that is a registered user. There should be some kind of functionality to allow administrators to approve or deny registrants access. * If anyone knows of any plugin or hack that will do what I’m talking about, ** please** email me at creativity (dot) unleashed (at) gmail (dot) com. * Thanks! Hopefully we’ll see something like this built into wordpress eventually.
