Hub Signup Options
Quick or Full Signup
There are two ways students can signup on a hub: a Full account with an email address or a Quick Signup where students' accounts become managed by the Admin. The Admin can choose the option in the Hub Manager settings, found by clicking "Manage" at the top left of the Hub Page.
- Full Signup: Students will need to provide and verify an email address when signing up. An email address is required so they can reset their password, or can be contacted if any of their content is flagged.
- Quick Signup: Students don't need an email address when signing up. Instead the Admin manages their account. The Admin is responsible for resetting passwords, or contacting students if any content posted by them is flagged. Managed accounts can always be transitioned to Full accounts by attaching an email address to the account.
Student Perspective
Students can request access to your hub from the hub page. This can be easily accessed with a link like this: https://app.stemforged.com/hub/YOURHUB with "YOURHUB" replaced with the name of your hub.
Require Additional Information
As an administrator and teacher you now know you need to approve all incoming domain requests. Identifying students by their usernames can be tricky. To help with this you can require additional information from your students when they signup for their accounts.
To set this up select the Configure Request Fields button in the blue box towards the bottom of the Signup Settings page. Here you can select Built-in Options or Customize your own.
When a student signs up and provides this information it will appear on the Access Request page and also appear on the Users page once their request has been approved.
