Configure Self-Registration Template User

Changing Permissions for the Template User

When self-registration requests are approved, the new users inherit the permissions of the template user. This user has default settings, which you can view and modify by clicking template user link. On the Edit Template User page, you will find the following settings:
Option Description
New accounts will expire Enable this setting if you would like a self-registered user's account to expire after a set number of days. Once the account expires, Faspex deactivates the account and that user will no longer be able to log into Faspex, unless you reactivate the account.
Note: In the Accounts list, inactive accounts are shown in gray. Packages sent to this user will remain on the server (if configured to do so).
New accounts will be deleted Enable this setting to automatically delete a self-registered user's account after a set number of days.
Warning: If this setting is enabled, the user's account will be completely removed from the Faspex database and you cannot re-activate it. Packages sent to this user will remain on the server (if configured to do so).

  • Do nothing: Do not auto-delete after the package is downloaded.
  • Delete files after any recipient downloads all files: Delete after any recipient downloads all files in the package once.
