# Open Sign Up

If you need to let new customers sign up to your app, you can enable open sign up

Open sign up allows anyone to sign up to your app through the registration page. By default open sign up is **disabled**.

You can turn on 'Open Sign Up' in the **"User Lists & Sign Up"** section of your app settings or by clicking on this link: <https://portals.noloco.io/~/_/settings/sign-in> This will enable the registration page at the `/register` URL

Just make sure you publish your app so that it takes effect

###

### Do I want Open Sign Up enabled?

Most apps don't require open sign up because the data in your app is already tailored to your users, and you want to show them only some of the data.

But there are some great reasons to want Open Sign Up

* Your main views show data that are not tailored to your users
* Your users don't need to go through any onboarding with you before signing up
* Your user accounts don't require any setup before they can use your app

{% hint style="info" %}
Want people to join without inviting them one by one, but without letting just anyone in? An [invite link](/users-and-permissions/sharing-your-app/invite-links.md) lets anyone who has it request access with a set role, and can be limited to your company's email domain.
{% endhint %}

### I don't want Open Sign Up, do I need to do anything?

No, Open Sign Up is disabled by default on all new apps. You can check that it's disabled by going to the `/register` page of your app. If that redirects you to any other page then you know it's not enabled. You can also check in the settings.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://guides.noloco.io/users-and-permissions/open-sign-up.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
