Account Management#

Colectica Portal allows you to create an account. An account is required to use baskets, comment on items, and rate items.

Note

Some deployments of Colectica Portal may require you to log in before accessing the site. Deployments that use an organization’s single sign-on provider create accounts automatically when you first log in, and some of the options described here are not available.

The user menu is opened by clicking the user icon in the top right of any web page. It shows your user name, or “anonymous” if you are not logged in.

  4. Click the Register button.

  5. Your account will be created and you will be logged in. A verification email is sent to your email address.

Registration may be disabled by the administrator, in which case only administrators can create accounts. See Users.
