Open registration

Introduction​

In some situations you do not want to send a user an invitation before he or she can become a user on the platform. For example:

  • A user logs in via the customer's SSO.
  • You have an environment where users come who are not known in advance (residents, participants).
  • Everyone is welcome, for example as a guest user.
  • You want to allow users to your platform directly from the homepage.

We have "open registration" for these types of situations. This means that users who log in via a certain method can automatically become user on the platform, without having received an invitation.

Preparation​

There are a number of settings that can be set:

On your studio, via the navigation menu -> Platform -> Platform settings:

  • Via the task "Set open registration".
  • Choose which login methods open registration is allowed.
  • Optional: Choose which activity should be performed at the time a new user has been registered.

Via the settings page of My Grexx:

  • Per environment you can set whether open registration is on or off.
  • For each environment it is possible to overwrite which login methods can be used to make an open registration in that environment.

Operation​

If the above is set, it works as follows:

  • A user navigates to the platform
  • If the user arrives at a non-public page, he is redirected to log in
  • This can then be done via any of the login methods allowed by the platform
  • If the user logs in with a login method that allows open registration and does not yet have an XXID account, it will be created.
  • The user comes to the platform, if there is no user case yet for this user, it will be created .
  • If known, name and email address are taken from the login method used.
  • If an activity is configured during open registration, it will be executed during this task:
  • User.currentUser can be used to find the (new) user case
  • Claims of the login method used can be made with user.usersession fetched. This may contain additional information about the user or his/her roles.
  • Is there the option to put the user in certain roles
  • The new user is logged in and can use the platform.
