Allow for the option to not need approval for certain roles

I assume you're suggesting an approval queue.

Interesting idea, but goes beyond the module's scope. Still, I'll leave the issue open for additional discussion and consideration.

Right, I get it. I believe each module serves a different purpose. Apply For Roles requires role selection approval, User-Selectable Roles does not. Use the module that best suits your need.

For what it's worth, i think it would be of benefit to have one interface to be able to chose roles - some of which require approval and some of which don't.

I completely agree about the single interface. In this case it would probably be easier for the Apply For Roles maintainer to roll in the functionality of User-Selectable Roles. This seems like the simpler approach versus me trying to replicate/duplicate the work they've already done. They already have the approval queue in place and so on. I would suggest you submit a feature request to the Apply For Roles project.

agreed.

Allow for the option to not need approval for certain roles, while other roles would need approval.

I see that this was requested previously in #302874: Would like to be able to automatically approve certain role applications, so I'm marking this as a duplicate. But the thoughts here are helpful. Thank you.
