TL;DR

AI summary of the plugin's readme

This plugin is for WordPress site administrators who need to control which new user registrations can access the admin area. It solves the problem of automatically granting admin access to unvetted new registrants by requiring manual approval before unapproved users can log in to the WordPress Admin.
