Manually Added Users by the Submitter

When allowed, the submitter can add a new/missing user when initially submitting. These users are required to confirm their participation, in the meantime, you can confirm their pending status with a yellow frame around their name and the Manually Added button that will display their name, email address, and comments from the submitter about this user.

As an Administrator, you cannot override the pending status. For these users, however, you can still manage them with any of the above actions.
