Great timesaving plugin

A real timesaver that I install every time I need to test out different user type roles.

It works, great!

Thank you developers! I used in a multisite and it has worked. If it helps any person, do not forget that the users (that not accepted) are located in the main network site, the Network Admin

Fantastic software

Great that you’ve created this software. Easy to use, just go to network admin, users and unconfirmed and resend the activation link or enable the user. No hassle anymore. 🙂
