### How to reproduce the issue?

Hey openstreetmap-website's developers,  I am trying to change the status of a user using the `Managing Users` section

https://github.com/openstreetmap/openstreetmap-website/blob/master/CONFIGURE.md#managing-users

It is useful when we don't want to send confirmation emails to users and manually enable users to edit on the map.


The issue is that we can not change the status of the user manually , it throws  the error  👉  `AASM::NoDirectAssignmentError (direct assignment of AASM column has been disabled (see AASM configuration for this class))`
 
```sh
irb(main):011:0> user = User.find_by(:display_name => "devseed")
irb(main):012:0>
irb(main):013:0> user.status = "active"
Traceback (most recent call last):
        1: from (irb):12
AASM::NoDirectAssignmentError (direct assignment of AASM column has been disabled (see AASM configuration for this class))
irb(main):014:0>
irb(main):015:0> user.save!

```

Currently the only way to make user active is with email confirmation.

So, I solution that I found is editing the line: https://github.com/openstreetmap/openstreetmap-website/blob/319e54e08a9803c2218ec126bce4ed6eb9965127/app/models/user.rb#L162  and changing the `no_direct_assignment` value from `true` to `false` 👇   

`aasm :column => :status, :no_direct_assignment => true do` -----> `aasm :column => :status, :no_direct_assignment => false do`

updating that line, the user’s  status changed successfully.


```sh

irb(main):002:0> user = User.find_by(:display_name => "devseed")
irb(main):003:0> user.status = "active"
irb(main):004:0> user.save!
=> true
irb(main):005:0> user
=> #<User email: "rub2106 at gmail.com", id: 2, pass_crypt: "..", creation_time: "2022-02-15 23:01:26.478201000 +0000", display_name: "devseed", data_public: true, description: "", home_lat: nil, home_lon: nil, home_zoom: 3, pass_salt: nil, email_valid: false, new_email: nil, creation_ip: "10.112.0.1", languages: "en-US,en,es", status: "active", terms_agreed: "2022-02-15 23:01:26.171538000 +0000", consider_pd: false, auth_uid: nil, preferred_editor: nil, terms_seen: true, description_format: "markdown", changesets_count: 0, traces_count: 0, diary_entries_count: 0, image_use_gravatar: false, auth_provider: nil, home_tile: nil, tou_agreed: "2022-02-15 23:01:26.171573000 +0000">
```

Can this line be updated in core code?
