To rephrase this, you would like to be able to setup an email address that gets notified when a user has been activated correct?

Example:

# User A signs up for Redmine
# User A gets registration email
# User A clicks the activation link
# User B gets a notification that User A has completed activation

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ideally...

Scenario 1: Self Registration setting set to "account activation by email"
# User A signs up for Redmine
# User A gets registration email
# User A clicks the activation link
# User B (and possibly C, D, ... N) gets a notification that User A has completed activation

Scenario 2: Self Registration setting set to "automatic account activation"
# User A signs up for Redmine
# User B (and possibly C, D, ... N) gets a notification that User A has completed activation

I wouldn't mind creating a patch that would:

* Create an option in either Settings->Authentication or Settings->Email notifications to "Notify Administrators of new account activation"
* Email administrators when a new account is activated

A question in my mind is when Self Registration is set to Manual Account Activation, an admin would have to manually activate the account. Would it be worth emailing other admins of this?

Any comments, suggestions, ideas?

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The proposal is exactly what we are looking for our case.
Better would be if any project manager would receive the notification. In our case the manager is the one responsible to add user to a project.

This behavior can be implemented by a plugin after the solution from #1945 is applied. This involves inserting a single line into app/models/user.rb to declare a 'on user create' hook, which can then be referenced by plugin code that, in turn, implements the desired behaviors. In the case of #1945, this means adding users to default projects; in the case of this issue (2722), this means invoking a plugin-specific Mailer class.

More information on implementing a plugin-specific Mailer can be found here:
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/10505894/send-email-from-redmine-plugin

Additional useful information on working with Action Mailer in general can be found here:
http://guides.rubyonrails.org/action_mailer_basics.html

And last, but not least, don't forget to log your hooks for debugging purposes:
<pre>Rails.logger.info("New user stuff going down")</pre>

When Self-registration ("Administration" > "Settings" > "Authentication") is "account activation by email" or "automatic account activation", send account activate notification to admins can be turned on/off.

!{width:600px; border:1px solid #ccc;}add_checkbox_for_send_notification.png!

If "Send notification to admins when activated" is checked, a notification will be sent to the administrators when a self-registered user account is activated.

!{width:600px; border:1px solid #ccc;}notification_mail_when_user_account_activated.png!

I attached a patch.

Thank you for posting the patch.

I think the checkbox should be placed below "Authentication required" dropdown because the dropdown and the checkbox have a close connection.

Why not in "Email notifications" tab where are all settings related to email notifications?

Moved the checkbox to the "Email notifications" tab. Unlike other notifications, this is a notification to the administrators, so I added a "Sent to administrators" checkbox.
