Creating Student User Accounts

User accounts for students provide all the needed rights to login, attend Classes, open labs and virtual classes with the Basic User role. This is the default user role in the Skillable TMS, so each user you create is automatically given Basic User privileges. The system requires using a unique email address on every user account. Skillable supports the following techniques for user creation:

• Authentication methods
• Manual User Creation
• User Self-registration
  • Manual Account Creation
  • Registration with Training Keys

Authentication Methods

Authentication methods determine the underlying mechanism to confirm that a person is who they say they are. These may range from Skillable's default method to 3rd party authentication providers such as Google or Entra ID.

Manual User Creation

This section outlines the process for creating a single user account. To create user accounts in bulk, see Creating Multiple User Accounts.

To create a user account:

1. On the Admin menu in the Users group, select Create User.
2. This opens up the Create User page. Some fields will be filled automatically based either on your own user account or the Organization Preferences. Fill in the following required fields:
   1. First Name
   2. Last Name
   3. Primary Email
   4. Username - the default for this is set in Organization Preferences in the Organization profile.
   5. Password - the default for this is set in Organization Preferences in the Organization profile.
3. Verify that the student is being added to the correct Organization and Time Zone. These default to match those of the person creating the account.
4. Select Save.

You may fill-in data in other fields if you wish to capture it here. These fields and the other tabs will be covered in future articles.

User Self-Registration

Manual Account Creation

The Manual Account Creation option allows users to register their accounts within the Skillable TMS. Training is not automatically assigned to users and will need to be made available to the users via an administrator. This option is recommended for customers looking to make classes and courses available to users for self-enrollment.

1. The user is directed to their TMS portal via URL: (domain).learnondemand.net.
2. The user would select the Create an Account option on the Sign-In page.
3. The user would select their preferred authentication option:
   1. Corporate Azure AD
   2. Microsoft Account
   3. Google
4. Or enter their Email and Password to utilize a Skillable Account.
5. An account will be created with the customer’s organization within the Skillable TMS.

Registration with Training Keys

The Registration with Training Keys option allows users to register their accounts within the Skillable TMS platform using a key associated with classes or courses provided by an Administrator. This method creates an account for the user and automatically assigns the appropriate content to the user account. This method provides the most streamlined experience for end users.

1. The user is provided a key by an administrator.
2. The user is directed to their TMS portal via URL: (domain).learnondemand.net.
3. The user would select the Register with Training Key button on the Sign-In page.
4. The user would enter the key into the Register with a Training Key prompt.
5. The user enters inputs account information:
   1. First Name
   2. Last Name
   3. Email
6. The user is assigned content via the key.
7. Upon subsequent logins, the user would select their preferred authentication option to align to outside accounts such as:
   1. Corporate Azure AD
   2. Microsoft Account
   3. Google
8. The user’s existing account will automatically be aligned to their Skillable account.
