How to create a forum for a closed community

[David999]

Hi,
I'm starting a small forum for a closed community where I want to grant access to each new user manually. I have set the flags:

New Account Activation to Admin in User&Groups.

But when I try register as a new user, (Test user2), and get a notification as Admin the user is automatically granted access when I click on the link:

"Hello,
The account owned by "Test user 2" has been deactivated or newly created, you should check the details of this user (if required) and activate it using the following link:"

I want to be able to screen the new user and after this grant access manually. What additional flags to I need to set?

I created a usergroup.

Like the users sign up as normally, but they need to be added to a group before they see the forum.
