I've seen this problem here before, only to be answered by the original poster with some 'duh!' self-correction. But I am stumped.

I've made a clean install of g2 on a site, enabling Administrator confirmation of new registrations. When I register a new user, the admin email receives a message with a link to follow:
http://lsgmodels.com/protected/g2/main.php?g2_view=core.SiteAdmin&g2_subView=register.AdminSelfRegistration&g2_navId=x5c4285f7

When I click that link, gallery2 tells me:

Security Violation
The action you attempted is not permitted.

Any idea why?

workaround:
you need to be logged in as admin already before clicking on that link.

not sure if we've improved that issue in g2.3 already.

Ah, of course - logged in first, it works now. Not sure that's something that needs to be "fixed", seems like a good protection.
