How do I let users sign-up for Crowd accounts on their own?

[Hemal Udani]

We are using Crowd with JIRA and Confluence. In Crowd, we have an LDAP directory (delegated) and a regular Crowd directory. We would like to allow users to self-sign-up to get accounts in the Crowd directory. When the customer visits JIRA login page, or Confluence login page, or the Crowd login page, they should see a link to Sign-up for an account. And when they do, that would create a Crowd directory account.

Hello Hemal,

Unfortuantely this is not yet implemented, due this improvement:

• https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/CWD-410

However searcing through answers I could see that there are some users trying to create a function that would automatically create users. This needs some further development, but could be of use to you:

• https://answers.atlassian.com/questions/746/how-to-create-a-user-with-crowdservice

And there is the Developer documentation that makes use of REST API that would call a create user trigger.

Sorry that I could not prompt you with a direct answer on how-to, but this will help you get on the right track I guess.

Cheers,

Guilherme
