# Users pending approval
> [Introduced](https://gitlab.com/groups/gitlab-org/-/epics/4491) in GitLab 13.5.
When [Require admin approval for new sign-ups](settings/sign_up_restrictions.md#require-admin-approval-for-new-sign-ups) is enabled, any user that signs up for an account using the registration form is placed under a **Pending approval** state.
A user pending approval is functionally identical to a [blocked](blocking_unblocking_users.md) user.
A user pending approval:
- Will not be able to sign in.
- Cannot access Git repositories or the API.
- Will not receive any notifications from GitLab.
- Does not consume a [seat](../../subscriptions/self_managed/index.md#choose-the-number-of-users).
## Approving a user
A user that is pending approval can be approved from the Admin Area. To do this:
1. Navigate to **Admin Area > Overview > Users**.
1. Click on the **Pending approval** tab.
1. Select a user.
1. Under the **Account** tab, click **Approve user**.
Approving a user:
1. Activates their account.
1. Changes the user's state to active and it consumes a
[seat](../../subscriptions/self_managed/index.md#choose-the-number-of-users).

## Require admin approval for new sign-ups
> [Introduced](https://gitlab.com/groups/gitlab-org/-/epics/4491) in GitLab 13.5.
When this setting is enabled, any user visiting your GitLab domain and signing up for a new account will have to be explicitly [approved](../approving_users.md#approving-a-user) by an administrator before they can start using their account.

## Require email confirmation
You can send confirmation emails during sign-up and require that users confirm
their email address before they are allowed to sign in.
