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 'Administration Console' view. To do this:

    • Go to a page in the space and choose 'Administration' from the 'User' menu, which is labelled with your Confluence username. The 'Administration Console' view will open.
  2. Select 'General Configuration' in the left-hand panel.
  3. This will display the 'General Configuration' screen. Click 'Edit'.
  4. Beside 'Public Signup', select 'On' to enable Public Signup. Select 'Off' to disable it.
  5. Click 'Save'.
