Short answer: Yes, set up the registrations options to required approval by you. If a new registration attempt is not in your list of emails do not approve. Of course if you get hundreds of registrations and only 20 emails you approve then that would be a lot of “not approved”.
Read some of the document on the Simple Mebership webpage.

I am just a user so this is all I can advise.

This was caused by the Word Press Update to 6.2.1. A very big issue for many persons using short codes from all vendors and plugins. 6.2.2 was supposed to fix many of the issues but my issue remained.
Summary: do to an upgrade to 6.2.2 of WordPress, you can no longer place short codes in some areas of Block Themes. (Details can be found in the Word Press upgrade notes for 6.2.1 and 6.2.2

I had to MOVE the short code OUT of the navigation menu in the Plugin and place it it a different area the header.

So, This was not a Simple Membership issue and can be marked Resolved

Actually I stumbled on to a solution. You may want to document this in documentation.

To Import users WITHOUT a username and have them complete their registration including their username do this:

1. If you have not enabled Free Memberships, do that and set the membership level to that you want the import to match. This is temporary until all imported persons have completed their registrations. If necessary, you can change the membership level after they complete their registrations.
2. Fill in the spread sheet and leave Username BLANK
3. Set the membership level the SAME as the Free Membership
4. Put some text in the reg_code field This can be anything, does not have to unique for each user but best if it is. I just use the persons last name
5. Import the spreadsheet but DO NOT check the Send Registration Complete Email
6. AFTER the imports, go to WP Membership Settings Tools
SELECT For All Incomplete Registrations
Check Send Registration Reminder Email Too
Click Submit
Each member will get an email with the link to complete. The Code will be what you entered in the reg_code field.

After all imported members have completed their registrations, Reset the Free Membership as it was before you started. (Unchecked or checked with the appropriate membership level.

Hope this helps some others in the future.

Yes that would work HOWEVER our users do not want to use their email as their username AND they want to set their own username.

Should be a way to do this because if our members pay first to register, they are provided a link to finish their profile and enter their desired user name.

AND, there does not seem to be anyway to change user names one they are set.
