I have developed a website for a client who has several products. We are setting up a section for their wholesale clients to access which has the wholesale prices, etc. that is going to be available only to approved new retailers. I am going to set up access controls to allow only retailers to access the wholesale section of the website.
My question is: is there a way through the self-registration sign up to have their account approved before access is granted to this section, as in their registration info coming to my clients email for approval before they are allowed in? Or should I set up a special contact page where the potential retailers fill in contact info, etc. emailed to my client and then we manually enter them once they are considered legitimate retailers?
I appreciate your assistance with this. I have read the access control section over and over and I really can't seem to find an answer to this pre-approval login situation accept for the new registrants having to respond to an activation email.
