     62Admins can manage driver applications from:
     63Users -> Driver Applications
     64

     66– Pending — new driver applications awaiting review
     67– Approved — applications that have been approved and converted into driver accounts
     68– Rejected — applications that were declined
     69
     70When an application is approved:
     71– A WordPress user account is created automatically
     72– The user is assigned the Driver role
