Describe the feature you'd like
Would it be possible to change the registration so that you get a role assigned only after you have confirmed your email?

Describe the benefits this feature would bring to BookStack users
This could prevent spam, currently there are few possibilities.
e.g.:
Without confirmed email you would then only have view rights and if you confirm them you get editor.

Hi @Tealk,
Sorry for the late response, just coming across this while reviewing some other issues.

I'm not sure I see the purpose of this? When email confirmation is enabled, an account can't really be used to browse a BookStack instance so a difference in roles pre/post confirmation should not matter.
Recently I've made changes to the auth process so a user won't even appear logged in, in any manner, until they confirm their email.

No problem, thanks for your answer.

If this is the case, then my request is no longer necessary.
