[support] Account Setup and First Login

Good Morning.

I have a simple site setup for which I would like people to be able to register. When they click on Create new account, they get an e-mail, but when they click on the link in the e-mail, they get an Access Denied page, and I have to give them a password and re-email them, telling them of the account activation and what the assigned password is.

Is this the way account assignment is supposed to work if I have it set to require administration confirmation of accounts? I don't want to let just anyone create a new account, as the material is rather specialized.

The site is: http://bookstudy.p-lutz.net

Thank you.

Peter
