vBulletin Version Compatibility
This hack can be used with both vBulletin v3.6.x and v3.7.x. But it is highly recommended that you use the new hack with v3.7.x.
What Does This Hack Do?
This is hack gives your Super Moderators the option in the ModCP to now manually approve new user registrations, that before now only Administrators could do from the AdminCP.
This means you can now spread the load of manually approving members with your Super Moderators, leaving you the administrator more time to do other things.
This hack was created because I liked the idea of the request in this thread, and seems to have been requested quite a few times over the years.
There are no file or template changes at all and is fully phrased. You just need to upload 1 file, import 1 product and alter 2 vBulletin Options in the AdminCP.
Installation Instructions
Unzip product-jd_20070831.zip
Upload /upload/modcp/user_moderation.php to your <forum root>/modcp folder (overwrite existing uploaded file if upgrading).
Import product-jd_20070831.xml into vB using the AdminCP Product Manager (set Allow Overwrite to Yes if upgrading).
Under the User Registration Options section of vBulletin Options in the AdminCP:
Ensure Moderate New Members is set to Yes
Ensure Verify Email address in Registration is set to Yes

Thank you very much for this mod. It has shown me an example of moving admin functions towards the moderators. My biggest headache after moving to vBulletin from phpbb (+category hierarchy mod) is that it has put the complete load of usergroup management on me (the admin) . I liked the way group moderators worked in the older setup where group moderators could add or remove users to from usergroups. Could you please also consider this as a mod request, i.e. a mod for giving some moderator permissions to add or remove users to from usergroups?
Question: can my other admin currently (without this hack) approve people? because it seems like im the only one who approves people, not sure if they have that power or not.

As long as they have the Can Administer Users permission in the Administrator Permissions Manager, then yes they can.
They will see Users to Moderate in the Welcome to the vBulletin Admin Control Panel on the Control Panel Homepage.
Did you at least make a try with a moderator account?!!
Moderators CAN approuve new members
I do make some change to this MOD to avoid this!
I have been able to duplicate this. I never checked as moderators do not have a link to the ModCP as standard, so should never access it, as they do not know that it is there, but can access it if they know the url.
This is not a real fix,
this conditional : is_member_of($vbulletin->userinfo,5,6) is just hide the link from moderators,
but they can still access to the page: http://www.site.com/modcp/user_moderation.php
myabe you should check permissions on user_moderation.php file.
