When public registration is enabled, anyone with the address of your LXP will be able to sign up for an account. They do this by clicking on "New here?" on the login page.
How to enable it
Go to Admin > Organisation Settings, click the Allow Public Registration checkbox, and click Save.
If you tick the Require Email Verification checkbox, learners will be prompted to verify their email account before they can login.
Restricting public registration by domain
When Allow Public Registration is activated, the Allowed Domains field will become available. If desired, you can restrict self-registration to specific email domains (the email address after the '@' symbol). Simply add the domains here, separated by a comma and a <space> (e.g., "learningpool.com, remote-learner.com"). See the screenshot below for an example of proper formatting.
Once saved, if a user tries to create an account on the LXP using an email address that does not belong to one of the specified domains, they will receive a message stating "Registration using this email is not currently possible. Please contact an administrator for assistance"
Customising the public registration prompt message
If you add a message to the Public Registration Message box, it will appear in the registration box:
