Overview 

In FotoWeb, new users can register online. This option can be very useful for sites that want new users to join through internet registration.

When a user signs up for an account on the server, their account is created after they submit an email address and password. By default, the email address will be used as the user's login name, although the user can request a custom username during registration.

To activate the account after registration, the user has to click a link in an email that is automatically issued by FotoWeb. This opens a page on the FotoWeb site where the user can enter information in the fields that you have selected (see below). Certain fields can be marked as mandatory. 

The user's account will be opened once they complete the registration process. Accounts that have been created but where the user has not completed the entire registration process, are displayed with a locked padlock icon next to the user's name on the Users tab (Site Configuration > Users/Groups).

1. From the Tools menu (cogwheel icon) go to Site Configuration > Security > Sign-up.
   
2. Turn on the Enable online signup toggle.
3. Turn the following toggles on or off, as required: 
   • Users must accept Terms and Conditions
   • Require invitation from administrator
   • Require administrator approval 
     • Administrator can assign groups upon approval
     • Require approval for invited users

4. Select Add member to open a dialog where you can select the groups to which the user will be added after registration. All registered users are already members of Everyone and Registered Users groups. An additional group can be defined which users automatically become members of. Select Add when you have made your selection.
5. Select Add field to open a dialog where you can select the fields to display during registration. Turn on the Required toggle to make a field mandatory. Select OK when you have made your selection.
6. Select Save.
