# Self registration on a knowledge base site

Self-registration allows readers to create their own accounts on a Document360 knowledge base site without needing an invitation. If your project has self-registration enabled, you can sign up directly from the knowledge base login screen using your name and email address.

---

## Before you begin

- Self-registration must be enabled by the project team. If you do not see a **Sign up** option on the login screen, self-registration is not available for that knowledge base.
- Self-registration is only available on knowledge bases with reader access set to **Private** or **Mixed**.

## How to self-register on a knowledge base site

1. Go to your knowledge base site.
2. Click **Sign up** at the bottom of the login screen.

You will get a confirmation message saying **Account created successfully**.

You will receive an invitation email. Once verified, you can set a password and log in to the knowledge base site.

## What happens after registration

Once registered, your reader account is automatically added to the **Readers** list in the knowledge base portal. Project members with access to **User & permissions** settings can edit or remove your account as needed.
