CM Registration (CMREG) - Extra - Self-Registration (Restricting Registration in Specific Use Case)


What is This Feature

The Self-Registration allows you to restrict registrations to users with First Name, Last Name and Social Security Code matching your database.

It does so by connecting Registration and Invitation Codes with other platforms via API. It's a specific use case.

The fields cannot be changed.

The feature was added in version 2.9.9.

Use Case

  • You have a database with 100 employees. They are identified by First Name, Last Name and Social Security Code
  • You create a WordPress site with training videos. You want only your employees to access it
  • You enable the Self-Register feature. When registering, users must input First Name, Last Name, the four last digits of the Security Code. Also, any other data you might require
  • You develop an application and generate an API key to call your WordPress site via the plugin

Registration

  • Only if ALL of these match with your database, the account is created.
