This feature can be set in most recent versions of Ushahidi. This is done using Actions/Triggers.
To do this, go to your admin panel, click on Manage -> Actions and from here, you can set up automation on your deployment.
Select "Report Added" under the Triggers section, skip all the Qualifiers and for the Response, select "Approve Report".
You can also select categories for the reports to go into and whether or not you want it to be marked as verified. If you want to go even deeper, play around in the Qualifiers section where you can select reports submitted during time of day, keywords, etc, which would qualify the report for auto approval.
