Skip confirmation Email not showing for Administrators

Hi,

We are using a WP multisite setup here at EF (www.ef.com/blog/) with super-admins, admins, and authors.

Super-admins usually create new authors and administrators. Admins then add authors to their local blogs.

Until recently admins could tick the box for ‘Add the user without sending an email that requires their confirmation.’ when adding authors. However, this option has recently disappeared and as a result any user cannot be added.

I saw in some forum posts that this is the desired setup, in others it said that this may be changed. However, as said above, admins used the option until recently.

I would like to find out how to enable admins again to see this option so they can resume adding authors, etc.

Thanks for your help.

Heinz
