Registering an account
Purpose
Self-registration creates a KCFIS user account using a name, email, and password.
Account approval and role assignment
A self-registered account starts with the lowest privileges. To upload submissions, review, or generate reports, an administrator must assign you to an entity and set your role. Until then, you may only see read-only screens.
If your organisation requires administrator-created accounts only, the Sign up link will be disabled or your registration will be rejected. Contact your administrator if in doubt.
Step-by-step
- From the Logging in screen, click Sign up at the bottom.
- On the Create an account screen, fill in:
- Full Name — your full name.
- Email Address — a working email you can receive at.
- Password — at least 8 characters.
- Confirm Password — re-type the password.
- Click Sign Up.
Expected result
KCFIS returns you to the Sign in to CFIS screen. You can now log in with your new credentials.
After signing in, contact your administrator to be added to an entity and given the correct role.
