Create Account

Introduction

AWP can create accounts for new users. This feature must be enabled and configured by the administrator who can optionally also enable a captcha.

Workflow

The login page shows an additional link to create an account if the feature has been enabled:

The user then enters all required and optional fields and clicks Create to create the new account.

If the account creation succeeded the user sees an according success message. In case of an error, the user is redirected to the previous page where the entered values are pre-filled and the error is also displayed.

AWP now sends an email to the email address entered for the account to make sure the email address exists. That email contains a link which the receiver has to click to verify the email address.

Whether the user is now able to login depends on the template user configured. If that user account is active then the new account can also login immediately.

Otherwise he will see an according message:

The user administrator will receive an email about the created user account if an administrative email address has been configured. The administrator can then check whether that user account is valid. If the account is not automatically activated, the email contains a link which, when clicked, activates the account and notifies the user about the activation.
