How Do I Allow Users
to Self Register for an Account?
This feature allows System Administrators to allow users
to self-register for the system as a Locally Managed User. You can choose
which FileHold group these users can belong to by default which will give
them automatic access to all Library objects that that group has access
to. Typically this feature is enabled for the following reasons:
- The system is being deployed for the general public and you want user
registration to be self serve.
- The system is being used by a small organization that does not plan
to use Active Directory to manage the users and wants to provide access
while limiting administrator burden to create user accounts.
- The system will occasionally be accessed by casual users who may only
logon a few times per year. On-demand access can be provided for these
users who may spontaneously decide to access the system.
- Some organizations create a Group with no access permissions that
the self registered users are placed in and ask the user to email the
administrator when the registration is complete. The administrator then
assigns the user a more appropriate membership.
Here following are step-by-step instructions for setting
up user self registration
- Go to the self registration setup form by clicking on the System
Admin > Users and Group Management > User Self Registration menu
option. The user self registration settings form will appear.
- Check the Allow User self registration option. Select a default FileHold
group that the user should be placed in after they have registered.
Click the Update button to save your changes. User Self registration
setup is complete.
- A Register button is now visible on the logon page
of the web client ONLY. Clicking on the Register button
will present the add user account page. Users must complete all required
fields before they are added as users. Once complete and the user clicks
OK they will be automatically logged onto the FileHold library with
rights as assiged by .
