Hi!

actually, when a user register without mail verification, even if mail verification is enabled in the admin panel, he appears as "member" on the user list.
would it be possible to keep unverified email user one the "guest" group ? and pass them to the "member" group only if mail is verified ?

Hi Arpinux,

Great suggestion! This is actually a very pertinent security and user management improvement. I've implemented this feature.

What's been changed:

When email verification is enabled in the admin panel, newly registered users will now:

  • ✅ Start in the "Guest" group upon registration
  • ✅ Be automatically promoted to the "Member" group only after email verification
  • ✅ Have restricted permissions until they verify their email

Benefits:

  • Better security: Unverified accounts have limited access
  • Cleaner user management: Easy to identify unverified users in the admin panel
  • Spam prevention: Bots and fake accounts won't get member privileges immediately
  • Clear user flow: Users understand they need to verify their email to access full features

Implementation details:

  1. On registration → User assigned to "Guest" group
  2. On email verification → User automatically promoted to "Member" group
  3. Admin panel shows verification status clearly
  4. Permissions are automatically applied based on group membership

This makes the verification system much more meaningful and secure! Users will now have a real incentive to verify their email since they'll have limited access until they do.

Thank you for this excellent suggestion! 🎉
