When an end user requests a permission setting that cannot be automatically granted (see the user settings help file) the request they've made will become pending. Pending requests are displayed in the user manager under a pending request list.
A pending user request does not effect the existing user. That user's account
will continue to operate as it did prior to the pending request. For example, a
view user who asks for admin permission will remain a view user until the pending
request is processed. The pending request will appear to a trusted admin or
super user the next time he/she views the user manager. The admin may either reject
the request by hitting the delete user icon () or
accept the request by editing the user (
) and
pressing submit to save the changes.
Send emails when users change
Using the email feature you may cause emails to be sent whenever a user makes any sort of change to his/her record including requests that generate a pending request. In this way pending requests do not sit waiting. Please see the email help file for more information.
