You can allow your users to self-register (sign up) to your TalentLMS portal either directly or by using their existing social media credentials.
| Note: When you create your portal, the default user sign up method is set to Manually (from Admin) and only Administrators can add users to the portal. |
Here’s how to let users self-register in three steps:
1. Sign in to your TalentLMS account as an Administrator and go to Account & Settings (1).
2. Go to the Users (2) tab.
3. From the Signup drop-down list, choose Direct (3). When enabled, this option allows users to self-register.
4. (Optional) When Direct signup is enabled, a User verification (4) drop-down menu appears with the following options:
- CAPTCHA verification: ensures that users are humans and not computers by using stretched letters and numbers as a verification method.
- 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.
- 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 before they can access the portal.
- Email verification: any new account created must verify their email address before they can access the portal.
- Admin activation: any new account is created with an inactive status. An Administrator needs to activate the user’s account before they can access the portal.
Choose your verification method, and then click Save (5) to update your settings.
Once you’ve enabled a self-register method, a Sign up (1) option is added to the login page.
TalentLMS also lets your users sign up using their social media accounts (i.e., Facebook, LinkedIn, and Google). See this article for more information.
