Disable self-sign up

You can prevent users from signing up to your business, and only add users selectively.

You might do this if you only want to give access to employees or members.

Disabling self-sign up applies across an environment. Depending on your Kinde plan, you can also manage self-sign up per organization.

1. Go to Settings > Environment > Policies.
2. Switch off the Allow self-sign up option.

You can then import users, add them manually, or add them via the Kinde API.

Users who receive an organization invitation can still complete sign-up even when self-sign up is disabled. See Invited user sign-up experience.

You can disable self-sign up per organization.

However, if you allow self-sign up in your business (and have not disabled it as per the above procedure), at least one organization must allow self-sign up.

1. Go to Organizations.
2. Select the organization you want to disable self-sign up for.
3. Go to Policies.
4. Switch off the Allow org members to be auto-added option.
5. Select Save.
