Second step registration for changing user role

Hello!

Thanks for this wonderful plugin. We’re implementing a new two-step registration process on our website and I’d like to walk you through the logic:

1. Initial Sign-Up: Users start by filling out a simple registration form. After signing up, they need to activate their account. Once activated, they’re considered registered users.
2. Advanced Community Access: After activating their account, users must complete a second form to request access to additional areas of our community. This application need to be approved by our team after careful consideration. Without completing this form and without our approval, access to certain sections of the website will be restricted.

However, we’re encountering challenges with setting up the second step:

• If we use a registration form for the second tier, the system recognizes the user as already registered, which they are.
• If we opt for a custom profile form to edit profiles, while the required options are present, there’s no straightforward method (or we were not able to find it!) to flag the user as “Pending Review” nor to trigger the appropriate email notification.

Essentially, what we need is an internal registration form for already registered users, with the functionalities of the existing registration forms. This form should function similarly to the initial registration form but is designed for those seeking further access within our community.

Any insights on how to achieve this would be greatly appreciated

Best regards
