# Account Signup

> Let people create their own PhoenixCAD accounts from your signup page, and choose whether new accounts need approval or not, all customizable!

## Get Started

To get started open the **Configuration > Account Signup** page to control whether people can create their own accounts.

<table>
  <colgroup>
    <col width="252" />

    <col width="525" />
  </colgroup>

  <thead>
    <tr>
      <th>Setting</th>
      <th>What does it do?</th>
    </tr>
  </thead>

  <tbody>
    <tr>
      <td>Allow people to sign up</td>
      <td>Adds a **Create account** button to the login page. Users can enter their name, email, identifiers, and set their account password.</td>
    </tr>

    <tr>
      <td>New accounts need approval</td>
      <td>New accounts must be approved before they can be used. Turn on signup first to enable this feature.</td>
    </tr>
  </tbody>
</table>

When account signup is turned off, only Admins and Root users can create accounts through the Users page. Accounts created through signup have no departments, roles, or whitelist statuses. Add them from the **Users** before they are able to utilize the CAD/MDT.
