Approve or Reject Member Registration
After a guest user registers for an account using self-registration, you approve or reject the request.
-
From the User management page, click Pending requests.
-
Enter the user’s name or email in the Search by name or email box.
-
From the list, click the three dots icon and select Approve or Reject.
After approval, the user moves to the Members tab.
If the registration is rejected, the user cannot log in and access the portal.
Login Settings
The Login settings tab lets you disable or enable self-registration for external users and set up single sign-on for your portal. Self-registration enables guest users to register themselves as members of your API portal. From the Pending requests tab, you can see a list of pending requests from guest users who want to access your portal.
Disable or Enable Self-Registration
By default, the ability for external users to self-register is enabled. This allows guest users to register, become a member, and access your portal site. Administrators can disable self-registration.
Self-registration is for new users only. Existing users cannot self-register. They must use an identity provider to access the portal. |
To disable external user registration, from the Login settings tab of the User Management page, turn off the Allow external user registration option.
To enable external registration again, turn on the Allow external user registration option.
Single Sign-On (SSO)
The Single sign-on (SSO) section provides information about how to set up your portal with SSO. For detailed instructions about configuring SSO, see Enabling Single Sign-On for Your Portal.
Manage Salesforce Identity Providers

From the Single sign-on (SSO) section, scroll down to the Add Salesforce identity providers section.
