Note: VocBench allows also to login using an alternative authentication method (SAML). Read details here.

User registration

A user that is accessing VocBench for the first time needs to register to the system. By clicking on the Sign up link, just under the login form on the right side of the landing page, the following registration form is prompted.

Only essential fields are mandatory. Optional fields may be hidden or further ones may appear in the form according the customization made by the administrator (see here). Notice the presence of the Language proficiencies field which, even if it is optional, is highly recommended to fill in order to suggest to the system administrator which languages to assign when he will grant to user the access to a project (further info here).

If administrator has enabled the email address verification, the new registered user may receive an email providing a link to click in order to verify the email address and thus to complete the registration process.

Once the user is registered (and eventually verified), it must have been "activated" by the administrator in order to be able to log in.
