===Account Activation Mode===
* ''Users must activate their account via email'' (default): users must confirm their email address by following an activation link that is sent them via email
* ''Administrators must activate accounts'': a newly-created user account must be activated by an administrator
* ''Accounts are active by default'': newly-created accounts are automatically activated.

'''Note''': this setting only affects accounts created via the ''Register.aspx'' page. The activation status of accounts created with the [AdminUsers|admin panel] is decided by the administrator that is creating the account.

===Change Moderation Mode===
* ''Disable moderation'' (default): no moderation is performed
* ''Require Page Viewing permissions'': anyone who has viewing permissions for a page can edit it, but the changes are held in moderation; anyone who has editing permissions for a page can edit it without restrictions and can also approve a draft
* ''Require Page Editing permissions'': anyone who has editing permissions for a page can edit it, but the changes are held in moderation; anyone who has management permissions for a page can edit it without restrictions and can also approve a draft.

'''Note''': drafts can only be explicitly approved/rejected by an administrator in the [AdminPages|Wiki Pages screen]. All other users that are able to save a page can approve a draft only by explicitly editing the page and saving the changes, thus making them visible to all users.

Every time a draft is held in moderation, all users who have approval permissions are notified via email. Normally, this group of users should be small.
