Enable self-service sign-up

Let learners create accounts and configure terms or notices.

Enable self-service sign-up in Go1 Learn so learners can create their own accounts on your portal. You can also ask learners to accept your organization’s terms or notices during sign-up.

Before you begin

  • You need administrator permissions in Go1 Learn.

  • Form-based self-service sign-up is not available on portals where public SSO is enabled. SCIM alone does not prevent self-service sign-up.

  • Review your user fields before enabling sign-up. Any active field marked Required must be completed by the learner during sign-up, even if Editable by learner is off. See Manage user fields in Field settings for help with field settings.

How Required works during sign-up: Visible to learner controls whether the learner can see the field. Editable by learner controls whether they can update it. When self-service sign-up is enabled, a required field must also be supplied by the person creating the account. If learners should not provide a field themselves, review whether it should be marked Required before you turn on sign-up.

Enable self-service sign-up

  1. In Go1 Learn, open Settings.

  2. Select Portal settings.

  3. Under Account creation, find Self-service sign-up and select Edit.

  4. Select Enable sign up.

  5. Select Save.

After you save, Go1 Learn displays your sign-up URL. Copy this link and share it with learners; they can use it to start creating an account on your portal. During sign-up, learners enter their email address, complete any fields marked Required in Field settings, and create a password.

Require learners to accept terms or notices

You can add a required checkbox to the sign-up page that links to a document hosted by your organization.

  1. In Settings > Portal settings, open Self-service sign-up and select Edit.

  2. Turn on Require learners to accept terms or notices.

  3. Enter the text learners must agree to or acknowledge. This text appears next to the checkbox.

  4. Enter a public HTTPS link to your terms or notice. The link opens in a new tab, so learners can review it without losing the details they have entered.

  5. Review the preview to check how the checkbox and link will appear.

  6. Select Save.

The checkbox text and link are required when this option is turned on. Your organization is responsible for the linked content and keeping it available.
