In addition to deletion, approving users (setting them active) with similar conditions as the deletion would be helpful for one of my sites.

You mean: make user active, if
a) he registered x days ago
b) he is not active
?

I fail to see how would this be usefull? If users are activated after some time automatically, why not make them active at once?

Title: User approval » User approval enhancements

What I mean relates to admin/user/configure and the "Visitors can create accounts but administrator approval is required" setting.

I have a site where customers create their own accounts, but they are not turned active until a company rep takes a look through the accounts to make sure they're legit. The company rep can sort the user list by status to find blocked users, but currently the rep has to edit each individual account to activate them.

Where time comes in would be simply having a column to display when the user applied for the account, perhaps as a secondary way to sort blocked accounts (ex: showing all blocked users created in the past 3 days).

I imagined having a mass checkbox list (click here to select all type thing) to turn a big chunk of blocked/unapproved accounts to active.

A part of this is also a feature I asked for in core that's not had a lot of support - notify users an administrator approved their account, but that might be best to track in a separate feature request.

So you want to have a way to activate all users at once? Should be quite easily done. I'll try to implement this at time permits (patches welcome too).

Yes, I would like to activate lots of users at once - not necessarily all, since some users will likely need to remain blocked for misbehavior or nonpayment.

This is not the module that control the info you are requesting. Please see the module description about what this module does. I am closing this thread as it does not pertain to the User Maintenance Module.

I don't think that adding this feature to this module would be what it is for. However in the future we may look into expanding the capabilities of the module.
