Creating Members In The Frontend

Externable differentiates two types of users - Members and Users. Users are internal people accessing the backend of the portal, Members are end users who can sign in to the frontend.

Externable default template comes with in-built feature of free Members registration. So every user who visits your site can subscribe.

If you don't want it to happen, you can hide all Login/Signup pages in the navigation.

When end user registers in the website frontend, account will be created, but will not be active until the email is verified.

Verification email will be sent out through your SMTP settings, thus it is important to set them up correctly.

Member will need to click into verification link in the email, so that it activates the Member account.

Verification tokens are cached, so if you restart your website all pending verification links will stop working and will need to be reissued.

You can see the list of all Members in your portal instance in Members section:

You are responsible for providing your end users Privacy Policy and for maanaging your data. You can extend the form with additional validation mechanisms if needed.
