Creating New User Accounts

HRCloud2 requires WordPress for user creation, management, and authentication.

Administrators

From the WordPress admin panel, go to the Users page and add a user account for your new client. Alternatively administrators can go to the General tab of the WordPress "Settings" page and enable "Anyone can create an account" to allow users to create their own account with built-in WordPress features.

Standard Users

If the service hosting HRCloud2 has allowed users to create their own accounts, visiting "your-domain.com/wp-login.php?action=register" in a new browser window should redirect you to the WordPress "New User Registration Page". From here you can specify a desired Username and an email address where your temporary password will be emailed to you. It is highly recommended that you change this password to something you'll remember later.

If your HRCloud2 host has specified that users are not allowed to create their own accounts you will need to contact the host administrator to request an account be created for you.

Important note

It is highly reccomended that public-facing HRCloud2 hosts employ proper HTTPS encryption on their web-services. If your HRCloud2 host does not support HTTPS, encourage them to look into it (and be weary of uploading sensitive information or passwords into their service).
