Enabling User Enrollment

Introduction

User enrollment allows individuals to create their own user accounts, which is particularly useful in environments where multiple people need access to the inventory system. Administrators can enable or disable this feature based on their preferences.

Steps to Enable User Enrollment

1. Log In as Administrator

   • Access the web interface and log in using your administrator credentials.

2. Navigate to Settings

   • Click on the "Settings" icon or select "System Settings" from the menu.

3. Access User Management Settings

   • Within the settings page, locate the "User Management" or "Authentication" section.

4. Enable User Enrollment

   • Find the option labeled "Allow User Enrollment" or "Enable User Sign-Up".
   • Toggle the switch to "On" or check the box to enable.

5. Configure Enrollment Options (Optional)

   • Email Verification: Require new users to verify their email address before activating their account.
   • CAPTCHA: Add a CAPTCHA to the registration form to prevent spam.
   • Default User Role: Set the default permissions for new users (e.g., Viewer, Editor).

6. Save Changes

   • Click the "Save" or "Apply Changes" button to update the system settings.

7. Confirmation

   • A message should confirm that user enrollment is now enabled.

Security Considerations

• Monitor Registrations

  • Regularly review new user accounts to ensure they are legitimate and authorized.

• Set Strong Default Permissions

  • Assign minimal permissions to new users by default and adjust as necessary.

• Implement Verification Steps

  • Use email verification or administrator approval to validate new accounts.

Disabling User Enrollment

• If you wish to disable user enrollment at any time, repeat the steps above and toggle the "Allow User Enrollment" option to "Off".
