publish user in admin backend

[n1bb]

Hello all,

I am trying to set up a user management and started to play around with the login-register module .

I found out that I can handle user similar to pages. So I  did this 

$this->createUserReady($user);
$user->addStatus(Page::statusUnpublished);
$user->save();

The user is created and unpublished, so far so good.

My problem is, when I want to publish the user via admin backend I need to set a password.  The new user should just be published/activated. 

Did I miss something? Is this way working?

I'm thankful for any hints.

Users are pages.

I guess the password is simply a required field. So, when you create a user via API, assign a password too.

Yes the pasword is a required field and it is set during the registration. 

Anyway I rethought the whole thing and came to the conclusion, that I just assign a check box to the users template which indicates if a user is activated or not. This will work for me. 

Thank you for your answer though.
