After installing the Signup Status module, I was perplexed. I could see how to add statuses and include those statuses on the signup form, but that was it. I was perplexed.
Then I found the writeup by @mlsamuelson explaining how to get access to change the status of a signup which can be found here:

I have updated the language a bit to make things clearer (for me):
In order to alter the Status of a Signup, you will need to install Views and Views Bulk Operations (VBO). Signup Status has several views already design for you to use, especially the signup_status_user_vbo_admin which will give the ability to change the Status as well as an edit link for each Signup.
1. Go to /admin/settings/signup_status and add your custom status codes if you haven't already done so.
2. Go to /admin/settings/signup and in the "Advanced settings," for How to display the administrative list of signed-up users choose "embed a view and in the "View to embed for the signup administrative list" drop down, select "signup_status_user_vbo_admin ..." You've just enabled Signup Status' default Views Bulk Operations-enabled view for the admin list of signed up users. There are several similarly named views -- be SURE you are using signup_status_user_vbo_admin.
3. Visit /node/N/signups/admin (where N is the node ID of a signup-enabled node). Now, where the "Signup Details" operations area used to be, you'll have a "Bulk Operations" area that looks similar. This is the Views Bulk Operations view, and it allows you to perform operations (from the drop down) on selected contents of this view. You can also edit the View style options so that there are other operations in the list including canceling a Signup.
4. To alter the signup status on a signup record, click the checkbox next to that signup on this page and choose the "Alter signup status" operation. Click execute.

dwwFixed in HEAD. VBO is not actually required. You can still modify the status by editing each signup individually. VBO is just necessary if you want to alter many status values at the same time. Anyway, I think the new README.txt is clear. Feel free to reopen if you think it needs any further clarification or correction. Thanks.
