Self-Register an Account

Overview

A new user can create an Account while logging in if the platform has been configured to allow users to self-register. To self-register an Account, the user clicks a link on the login screen, and the Register New Account pop up opens. The user can enter the username in the Form of an email address and a password for the Account, as well as other contact information. This Account can access the Portal immediately, but will have limited permissions until a member of the administrators group changes the permissions. This example assumes that the platform has been configured to allow a user to self-register. If it has not been configured, the Register link will not display on the login screen. To configure self-registration, navigate to Settings > Portal Settings > Registration Settings.
