I know how to set the subscriptions so they are visible only to certain usergroups, but thanks.

I'm asking the best way to set up the application/approval process itself.
Is there a built-in way to set up manual application and manual approval (ie not the automatic promotions based on post count, or membership length, or the "join group" in the UserCP that automatically adds them to the usergroup), or is there a mod that will allow an easy application/approval system based on external factors?
