Giving members the right to delete their accounts

Using SMF 2.0 RC1.2.

Where can I go to give regular members the right to delete their own accounts?

Also, once upon a time I recall seeing an Admin setting that required administrator approval before an account could be deleted, but now I can't find that setting either. Searching the On-Line manual I find a page describing this, but with only Previous and Next options, I can't find the parent board.  >:(

Can I set it up so that users can delete their own account, subject to admin approval in the same way that users can now register an account but not post a message until receiving admin approval?

Thanks,

Boot.

So that's where it was hiding! Thanks.  :)

I've enabled the setting, but user's still don't have the right to delete their own accounts. As an Admin, when I go to a user's profile I see an Actions -- Delete this account link, but as a user I only see the Profile Info and Modify Profile selections.

What am I missing?

Have you enabled the permission in Admin > Permissions > {Membergroup}?

And that was what I was missing.

Thank you Nas and JBlaze for your help!
