The purpose of this article is to explain two ways in which a user account can be created in step by step instructions. If the user already has a TP account, you can skip this step and go straight to step 2. a user can create a profile and For you to be able to add a new user in your project room, the requirements are that they have a Thinkproject account.
Users and organisations are managed in the global user management: User profiles can be created and changed by authorised customer administrators. In addition to the users, there are the organisations as an administrative unit.
You can access the global user administration via the following link, https://accounts.thinkproject.com/sso/admin
or
in the User Portal area, in the dropdown at the top right.
To create a new user account, click the + New User button in the top right corner.
The Create user account page opens.
Required fields are marked with a star. The Save changes button will only be active as soon as all of the following mandatory fields have been filled:
- Surname
-
Communication language

-
Username
- Usernames can only be changed by the Thinkproject-Support team, so please make sure that the username is unique and correctly spelt. Our suggestion: first name, last name, or last name, first name

The following settings can be managed in the User account settings section:

Tip
Please use Google Chrome or Mozilla Firefox as your browser. Please also inform your new users about this to avoid difficulties with the registration and the creation of the password.
Please note that as an administrator you can create users from a wide variety of companies. However, you can only edit users in your own organisation. You can only see these users in the global user management or view them using the search function. Click on the username to start editing a user and return to the user form
With our self-registration the user has the possibility to create their own TP account themselves. To do this, the user uses our registration page and fills out the form with their details. The advantage of self-registration lies in the completeness and correctness of the user data.
As soon as the user completes the registration with Save, the system automatically creates a Thinkproject account, which you can see in the global user management - provided the user belongs to your organisation.
After the successful creation of a user account, the system automatically sends a welcome email to the user. It does not matter whether the account was created by you or the user themselves. With this e-mail, the user is asked to confirm their e-mail address by clicking on the Account verification button in the e-mail.
Important
The verification email to the user is only valid for 10 days. If the user does not confirm their user account within this time, the e-mail can be triggered again via the global user management, within the user settings below. If the participant does not belong to your organisation, please contact our support.
After the user has confirmed, a new tab opens in which they are asked to assign a password for their account. The password policy on the right must be observed when making the selection. The password can only be saved by the user when all criteria are met (all red Xs are now a green tick).
With this step, the registration is completed on the user side and they can log in. If you would like to inform your user about the following procedure and ask them to self-register, you are welcome to send them the following article on self registration. Attention: the user has not yet been activated for a project room, this process is explained in step 2.
