I am looking for a self sign-up feature for my users (teachers and users). In the docs it shows there is a register option in the login page. I have deployed canvas in a test server and this is how my login page looks like.
I was able to add users through adding them to courses which enables the user to create usernames and passwords before enrolling to the course, but is there a way to make it so that a user can register first and then can choose a course to be enrolled.
I am new to canvas. Help will be appreciated
Thanks

Hi @hkoganti96 and welcome to the Canvas community! I am wondering if you are looking for the feature called "Open Registration." You can find this in the Canvas Admin Settings under the "Settings" tab.
In addition, I am including some info here about registration.
What user enrollment and registration options are available in Canvas?

Last but not least, you might want to take a look at the Canvas Admin Guide.

Hope this helps.
Please feel free to reply if you have any more questions. Good luck!

Thanks Rebecca for the reply. I did have open registration checked.
But your links helped me. I had to enable self registration in the settings. Now I am able to signup as a student and teacher with the correct join code
Thanks a lot.
That's great! Please feel free to shout out if you have any additional questions.
