Thanks, I'll try it out soon. Been holding off on an update for a while as I'm worried about some compatibility issues. Keep you posted.

<p>So it looks like site admins have the ability to choose whether or not to send a new user an Activation Email through the "Send an activation email now?" checkbox option on the Register a new user page on the Craft back-end.</p>

<p>I want to give this permission to a set of "Managers" user/permission group, but I cannot find the option that allows this permission to be usable.</p>

<p>The "Manager" user group currently has all "User" permissions checked.  Is the only way to fix this to make them an admin?</p>

<p>Was hoping to be a bit more granular. Any insights would be appreciated, thank you in advance.</p>
