Self-registration lets users sign up to Form LMS themselves, saving you time. You create a self-registration key and share the link with staff who need accounts.
â Before you start: You need the Admin role.
đĄ Tip: Set up auto-enrolment rules alongside self-registration. Learners are then enrolled onto the correct courses automatically, with no extra admin work needed.
Watch this short video explainer:
Create a self-registration key
- Go to Setup â Site settings.
- Select Sign-up.
- Self-registration is off by default. Click the toggle to enable it.
- Click Generate new key.
- Enter the following details:
- Key name: Give the key a descriptive name so it is easy to find later.
- Number of uses allowed: A key can be used up to 10,000 times.
- Expiry date: Set an expiry date if needed.
- Organisation units: Choose whether users with this key can access all organisation units or specific ones.
- Groups: Choose whether users with this key can access all groups, no groups, or specific groups.
- Set the key status to Active if you want to use it straight away. Otherwise, set it to Inactive and activate it later.
- Click Generate.
- Click the link icon to copy the registration link. Share this link with your users.
You can create multiple self-registration keys within a workspace. This lets you direct users to register in the right area of your organisation.
âšī¸ Note: Anyone your workspace requires to use single sign-on can still register with your link. Where the workspace requires SSO for their address and has an active SSO method, they see a Continue with button instead of password fields and finish at your organisation's sign-in page. Otherwise they create a password as normal. See Single Sign-on (SSO) and 2FA/MFA (multi-factor authentication).
When a user receives the link, they follow it and fill in their details to create an account. For more information, see the Use a self-registration link guide.
