Can I bypass the Customer Approval system?

Hi everyone,

My client would like to not have to approve every customer as they work 8 - 5pm and would like customers to sign-up, log-in and buy without waiting for admin approval.

Can you tell me if this is possible and how to do it (in layman's terms please)

Regards,
Mike

In the admin section go to
System->Settings

In the Options tab, you have Approve New Customers, select No and job done

Many thanks. That was easy!

I do not see anything about approve new customers under options under settings. I'm using version 1.5.4

It's been changed and now is part of customer groups. You can find it in Sales > Customers > Customer Groups.

I saw it there too. And it is checked "no", but I still get a warning that account requires approval.
