Chris, depending on the setting you chose for installation, i.e. a public website or a private enterprise 2.0 computing site, the default ability for users to signup is either turned on or off. If signups are enabled, then there is no approval. If signups are not enabled and someone fills out a Contact Us form, then that form is emailed to the Admins and then you must "invite" the user to the main profile. You'll see more info in the admin guide. https://www.concoursecloud.com/show/main-profile/wiki/Getting+Started
When users signup, they get a user record which gets emailed to you (the admin), their user record is visible in the Admin search users page, and the user gets a public profile which can be found in the People tab.
