If I'm understanding you, that's the default setup in MODX Revolution. The admin has to create a new user. The ActivationEmail plugin will send an email to the user when the admin saves the user with the 'Active' checkbox checked.
Yup I can second that. Without installing at least 1-2 extras, you can't have users who can sign up. So that means the only way to make a new user is the admin can do that inside the manager.
Ah yes, MODX tries to keep the core system distinct from everything else, so everything but the most basic functions are in the Extras, to keep them well apart from each other.
So even something as fundamental as user registration needs an extra or two, I think its just the login package and formit is needed to help make the form styles, I believe that's all. Its all installed via package management.
So, when you are looking for how to do something, look to the Extras to get you going!
If you do want to let users self-register, you can do it with the Login package's Register and ConfirmRegister snippets. By default, they are created as inactive (can't log in) and get an email. Clicking on the email link activates them.
There is also the Subscribe extra, which provides a wrapper for the Register operation and optionally lets the user select preferences/interests and lets you assign the user to one or more user groups.
You shouldn't need FormIt either way since the form code is provided by Register or Subscribe.
