Add custom registration fields to the account creation page

By default, when registering with your portal, a portal user is prompted for their first and last name, an email, and a password. You can add up to three additional custom registration fields to the Create Account form to capture additional details. For example, you might want to capture the company name.

When a portal user provides data for a custom registration field, the content is displayed in the Users details. If you disable or remove a custom registration field, the custom information moves to the Legacy Data column in the Users list. See Managing users.

Note: The custom registration fields are accessible only from the Users page in the UI.

To add custom registration fields to the account creation page:

  1. Access the Authentication page.
  2. Click in the Account creation & sign in section.
  3. Edit one or more of the custom field labels, as desired.
    To remove a custom registration field, delete the field label.
  4. Click Required to require that the field be completed during registration.
  5. Click Save.

Configuring manual activation of user accounts

By default, when portal users register on the integrated portal, their user accounts are activated automatically.

Alternatively, you can configure your portal to require manual activation by an administrator for each new user account, as described in Activating user accounts. In this case, the status for the user account is listed as Inactive in the user accounts list and the portal user cannot sign in.
