Usage trouble
User can't login
If a user can't login, there is most likely a user mistake. We found no technical reasons in the past. Therefore, please try to find out what happens by asking the following questions:
- Are you typing the password correctly, respecting upper-case and lower-case?
- Don't copy&paste the values! Try to type them directly because sometimes copying selects more characters than you might see.
- Is the e-mail address correctly typed?
- What website are you trying to login? Is it the one you have registered with? What is the URL in your web-browser during login?
- In many cases, people are trying to login to other pages than the provider they have signed up to. Some found the wrong page using Google or try it at the demo portal of regify (linked on regify homepage).
- Have you clicked the link in the e-mail (invitation or sign-up message)?
- Without activation, an account is not working. The passwords are displayed after clicking this link only.
- Maybe you changed your password in the past? Use the new one.
- If the customer does not know his password any longer, please guide him to the password reset page of his provider. He will get a password reset e-mail after filling the form and solving the captcha.
User can't register
This only happens if his e-mail address is already assigned to another regify provider. Ask the user to delete or use his existing account. If he does not know the provider he is assigned to, please guide him to the password reset of your regify-provider. The password reset will get triggered to the right provider and the user will get a password-reset e-mail in the next minutes. This e-mail also points to his provider (he is assigned to).
Common tasks
Multiple users need to open messages received by one e-mail address (common e-mail address)
To solve this, follow this guide:
- Create a regify account for this e-mail address.
- Login to the new account and activate extended portal functions ("System configuration" -> "Show extended portal functions").
- Enter the "Manage representatives" option in the main menu.
- Enter up to five e-mail addresses of the people who should be able to open the messages send to this common e-mail address.
Now, all the entered people can open the regify messages sent to the common address.
If five people is not enough for your common address, please consider using groups. If you group all affected users together (or they are already grouped), you can make the whole group a representative for the regify account of that common e-mail address. You can add the group as representative in the same dialogue as above for single users (starting regify Provider V3.5). But instead of the e-mail address, you need to enter the group-code to the field. The group-code is displayed to the group administrator in his group management dialogue. Ask him to get the code. Alternatively, the regify providers administrators can tell you this group code, too.
Because of performance optimization, a group can be assign the maximum of five times as a representative.
