Signup to a Jamroom site
-
Signing up to a Jamroom site should be very straight forward.
Overview
There are settings that the system admin can set that customize the way the flow goes, so things might deviate a little depending on whether the admin wants to approve each new user or if the site just allows anyone with an email address to sign up.
The typical flow is:
* click on the 'Create Account' button
* enter your details, Name, email address and a password
