Managing users in JForum

How do you manage users in JForum?

Can this be done?

Thanks,
Arie

Thanks Jeanne.
It appears I asked the second question poorly though.
Regarding "force Adminstrator moderation of new users" -- what I was wondering was if when a new user registers, can the forum be set that the new user is not active until a Moderator activates the user.

Thank you regarding the first one -- I got that set.

Oh! No JForum doesn't have that feature built in. This post suggests how you could implement it for you wanted to make a custom modification to your copy of JForum.
