In this article, we'll show you how to create an easy way for you to share access to courses or your member area with Self-Signup. Self-Signup is best used in scenarios, where you want to grant access to a course, which is free of charge (e.g., a freebie).

To activate self-signup for a member area, you must first go into Settings → Login → Self-Signup.

Now you'll be able to grant members access to your member area. With this however, your new members won't be able to work on any courses.

In order to activate Self-Signup for an access, click on Access in your admin area and follow these steps:

Once you have selected this option, members can sign up to your member area independently. Once they have signed up, they will automatically receive access to the courses that you have authorized for them.

How do I know which members have enrolled themselves, and which have been created manually or via an interface?

You can create an unlimited number of accesses. You can therefore activate your own with the Self Sing Up function. Furthermore, you can see the total number of members in this account in the overview of accounts.

If you go to Members, you can filter by accounts in the top right-hand corner. This means that only members who have this account are displayed.

What is the difference between the self-signup function in the settings and the one in the accounts?

With global Self-Signup your member can create an account without obtaining access to courses etc.

Further settings allow you to activate specific access upon registration. You can also store an external form. For example, you can use Typeform to request additional information, such as your telephone number. By integrating with Zapier or Make, you can then also activate access to Memberspot via this external form.
