How do I enable automatic self-registration for my users?

D
Written by Daria Nasedkina

With automatic (unmoderated) self-registration, users who register through the link you share are added and activated immediately — nothing further is needed from you. This is the quickest way to onboard a lot of people at once. For a comparison of the two routes, see What is self-registration?

If you'd rather approve each user before they get access, use moderated self-registration instead. See How do I enable moderated self-registration for my users?

Step-by-step instructions

⚠ The steps below depend on how you log in — check yours before you start.

Look at the web address you use to log in:

If you log in at atlas-hub.co.uk

Step 1: Set up self-registration

  1. Go to Users.

  2. Click the three dots in the top right corner and select Configure Self Registration.

  3. Select Unmoderated.

  4. Copy the link provided.

Step 2: Share the link with your users

Share the registration link with your users via your regular communication channels. Below are two email templates you can use:

Email template for username-based (no email) users

"To create your iHasco account and access your training, follow this link: <insert link>.

  1. Fill out your first and last names.

  2. Under "Do you have a work or personal email address?", toggle to No.

  3. Create a username in the format firstname.lastname (for example, Sam.Smith) and set a password.

  4. Fill out all remaining custom fields, if any.

  5. Click "Create account".

You'll be able to access your training straight away."

Email template for email-based users

"To create your iHasco account and access your training, follow this link: <insert link>.

  1. Fill out your first and last names.

  2. Fill out your work email address.

  3. Fill out all remaining custom fields, if any.

  4. Click "Create account".

You'll get a welcome email with a login link, and can start your training straight away."

Step 1: Set up self-registration

  1. Go to Settings.

  2. In the Advanced section, click Security.

  3. In the Registration & login section, click the Registration method dropdown and choose Self-registration.

You can also set these related options:

  • Password protected sign in: require users to sign in to the training suite with a password in addition to their email address.

  • Email domain lock: prevent users from self-registering with an email address that doesn't belong to the specified email domain. In the Email domain field, enter the allowed domain(s) — separate multiple domains with commas (for example, example.com, another-example.com).

Step 2: Share the link with your users

  1. Go to your dashboard at app.ihasco.co.uk/client.

  2. Find the Training suite URL section and copy the link.

  3. Share the link with your users via your regular communication channels. You can use the email template below.

FAQ

Do I need to approve users who register automatically?

No. With automatic (unmoderated) self-registration, accounts are active as soon as the user registers. If you'd like to approve each user first, use moderated self-registration instead. See How do I enable moderated self-registration for my users?

How do users know they can start training?

  • Email users are notified automatically by Atlas — their account activates immediately and they receive a welcome email with login instructions.

  • Username (no email) users can access their training straight away using the credentials they created, as their account is active immediately.

A user gets an "Account not created, please contact your administrator" error — what should they do?

This usually means the username they picked is already taken. Suggest they try a variation, such as adding numbers to the end — for example, Sam.Smith22.

Can the self-registration link include our company name?

Unfortunately, not at the moment.

Can I disable self-registration?

Yes. See How do I disable user self-registration?
