I would like for moderators to be able to approve new registrations and receive receive Email when someone registers like the Admin normally receives.

Is this possible?

I am really reaching now. Is there a way to have new registration emails actually form a new topic in a forum only for moderators, so moderators could view new registrations as a group in that forum? A mod would just close that topic when user is either approved or not approved? That way multiple mods would always see who needs to be approved by open status.

The forum would be named  "New User Registrations"

Thank you

We're really sorry, but wpForo doesn't have such a feature. You may need to consider using another plugin for this purpose.

You can check out the following two plugins as alternatives:

Additionally, you can find another one if those are not fit to your preferences: https://wordpress.org/plugins/search/approve+user/

Thank you Sofy@sofy 

I looked at those. Let me ask this this? Is there a way to set permissions for a moderator to view just new registrations to be approved on the dahboard with no other admin capabilities at all? They would still have all permissions (moderator) needed on the frontside of course.

@danno6116,

Please try this hook-code:

add_filter( 'wp_new_user_notification_email_admin', function( $wp_new_user_notification_email_admin ){
    $wp_new_user_notification_email_admin['to'] = [
       'moderator1@example.com',
       'moderator2@example.com',
       'moderator3@example.com',
    ];
    return $wp_new_user_notification_email_admin;
} );

Please ensure to replace 'moderator1@example.com', 'moderator2@example.com', and 'moderator3@example.com' with your actual email addresses."

@sofy let me reword that question. The code you supplied above, is that PHP or CSS, it is a little embarrassing asking that question. But what kind of code is it?

@danno6116 This is a php snippet.

Install this
