Clicking the ‘Approve User’ button just takes me to the ‘Activity’ page under ‘users’ menu. There is nothing there to approve and they don’t show on any list. I had to invite them manually. Perhaps this is the intended behavior as this is an invite only studio, but why then let them request access in the first place. Thanks!

Hi @user14,

It’s kind of hidden at the moment but click the notification bell on the top right corner and you should see it:
