Setting Buttons in Prototype cell of Table View

I'm working on a project that restricts user access to the app by providing approved users with an access code. On the main screen, users are asked for some basic information, which is then submitted to administrators who then approve access and send an access code. Users whose status level is set to "administrator" have the option of navigating to a table view screen that lists all the users. Each requested user is listed in a cell along with two buttons:"Accept" and "Deny".

So for instance, if I am looking at a cell that has "John Smith" with a userID of "12345", there is also an "Accept" and "Deny" button in the cell. Ultimately I want to be able to press the "Accept" button, for instance, and execute the code that will email John Smith an access code.

The problem I'm running into here, is that I can't figure out how to get the buttons in the cell to gather information based on the indexpath.row where it is nested.

I have attempted to do this programmatically both within the Button's IBAction by setting tags, and also in the UITableViewCell, without success. Each time, no matter which row's button I press, my NSLog returns "0" for the clicked button path. Below is the code as it is currently written, which is kind of all over the place now because of all the various methods I have attempted.

Does anyone have an idea how I might go about dealing with this issue?

- (UITableViewCell *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath
{
    static NSString *CellIdentifier = @"Cell";
    UITableViewCell *cell = [tableView dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:CellIdentifier forIndexPath:indexPath];

    HeaderData *obj = [self.pendingList objectAtIndex:indexPath.row];

    UILabel *userLabel = (UILabel *)[cell viewWithTag:1];
    UILabel *committeeLabel = (UILabel *)[cell viewWithTag:2];
    UILabel *orgLabel = (UILabel *)[cell viewWithTag:3];
    UIButton *approvedButton = (UIButton *)[cell viewWithTag:10];
    UIButton *deniedButton = (UIButton *)[cell viewWithTag:11];
    userLabel.text = [[obj.firstName stringByAppendingString:@" "] stringByAppendingString:obj.lastName];
    committeeLabel.text = obj.committee;
    orgLabel.text = obj.org;


    return cell;

}



- (IBAction)approvedButton:(id)sender {
    UITableViewCell *clickedCell = (UITableViewCell *)[[sender superview] superview];
    NSIndexPath *clickedButtonPath = [self.tableView indexPathForCell:clickedCell];
    NSLog(@"%@", clickedButtonPath);
}

- (IBAction)deniedButton:(id)sender {
}
