English term or phrase: Get user to activate
I don't have much of a context, and "get" could be translated in so many ways.
What do you understand from:

Get user to activate
Give user the right to moderate a garage
Show users of this garage
There are still users assigned to this garage!

Thank you in advance!

Explanation:
It seems this is some kind of login/participation command in a WHAT? If this is computer-oriented activity, then my suggestion would fit well. IF it's not, then it's wholly errant.

Only activated by the user / User must activate


Explanation:
It seems that for the user to have access to an insurance contract, normally the insurance company can send the user an email with a link to be activated the service. Another example would suggest a plus service that if the user wants it they could ask for straight from insurance vendor.
