Enabling 'Public Signup' allows users to sign themselves up to the site.

If you want to restrict your site to a particular set of users, you may want to disable 'Public Signup'. In this instance, administrators can add new users from the Administration Console.

To enable or disable public signup,

  1. Go to the Confluence 'Administration Console'. To do this:

    • Open the 'Browse' menu and select 'Confluence Admin'. The 'Administrator Access' login screen will be displayed.
    • Enter your password and click 'Confirm'. You will be temporarily logged into a secure session to access the 'Administration Console'.
  2. Select 'Security Configuration' in the left-hand panel.
  3. This will display the 'Security Configuration' screen. Click 'Edit'.
  4. Tick the 'Public Signup' checkbox to enable Public Signup. Untick the checkbox to disable it.
  5. Click 'Save'.
