If you want your users to register themselves to your portal, you can let them sign up directly through TalentLMS or by using popular social media accounts.
Here’s how to let users self-register in three steps:
1. Sign in to your TalentLMS account as Administrator and go to Home > Account & Settings (1).
2. Go to the Users (2) tab and, from the Signup (3) drop-down list, choose Direct:
When the selected Signup method is Direct, a new drop-down menu appears with the following options for you to choose.
- CAPTCHA verification: ensures that users are humans and not computers by using stretched letters and numbers.
- CAPTCHA + Email verification: when selecting this option, a CAPTCHA is added to the signup form, and any new account created must verify their email address before they can access the portal.
- Email verification: any new account created must verify their email address before they can access the portal.
- CAPTCHA + Admin Activation: with this option, a CAPTCHA is added to the signup form, and any new account is created with an inactive status. An administrator needs to activate the user’s account in order for them to access the portal.
- Admin activation: any new account is created with an inactive status. An administrator needs to activate the user’s account in order for them to access the portal.
3. Choose your verification method and then click Save (4) to update your settings.
Once you’ve enabled a self-register method, a signup link (5) is added to the login page.
TalentLMS also lets your users sign up through popular social-media accounts (i.e., Facebook, LinkedIn, and Google). For more, see this article.
