<p><code>requireAdmin</code> is hard coded into the <code>actionActivateUser</code> action in line 444 of the <code>UsersService</code> file, so I suspect that there is no way to over-ride this without creating your own plugin.</p>

<p>Is it possible to assign priveleges to a user group (not admin but with CP access) to manually 'Activate User's?</p>

<p>We have a few users who struggle with the email process but it would seem only top level admins can Activate - is that the case or is there an override?</p>

<p>Thanks

Is it possible to assign priveleges to a user group (not admin but with CP access) to manually 'Activate User's?

We have a few users who struggle with the email process but it would seem only top level admins can Activate - is that the case or is there an override?

Thanks

`requireAdmin` is hard coded into the `actionActivateUser` action in line 444 of the `UsersService` file, so I suspect that there is no way to over-ride this without creating your own plugin.
