## Add custom registration fields to the account creation page

> [!NOTE]
> This section applies to the [built-in identity provider](https://docs.apigee.com/api-platform/publish/portal/portal-identity-provider#built-in).

By default, when registering with your portal, a portal user is prompted for their first and last name, an email, and a password. You can add up to three additional custom registration fields to the Create Account form to capture additional details. For example, you might want to capture the company name.

![](https://docs.apigee.com/static/api-platform/images/custom-account-fields.png)

When a portal user provides data for a custom registration field, the content is displayed in the Users details.
If you disable or remove a custom registration field, the custom information moves to the Legacy Data column in the Users list. See [Manage user accounts](https://docs.apigee.com/api-platform/publish/portal/api-portal-users).
> **Note** : The custom registration fields are accessible only from the [Users page](https://docs.apigee.com/api-platform/publish/portal/api-portal-users) in the UI.

To add custom registration fields to the account creation page:

1. [Access the Authentication page](https://docs.apigee.com/api-platform/publish/portal/configure-register-sign-in#explore-ui).
2. Click ![](https://docs.apigee.com/static/api-platform/images/edit-icon-black.png) in the **Account creation \& sign in** section.
3. Edit one or more of the custom field labels, as desired.  
   To remove a custom registration field, delete the field label.
4. Click **Required** to require that the field be completed during registration.
5. Click **Save**.

## Configure notifications for new user account registration

> **Note** : This section applies to the [built-in identity provider](https://docs.apigee.com/api-platform/publish/portal/portal-identity-provider#built-in).
>

## Configure manual activation of user accounts

> [!NOTE]
> This section applies to the [built-in identity provider](https://docs.apigee.com/api-platform/publish/portal/portal-identity-provider#built-in).

By default, when portal users register on the integrated portal, their user accounts are activated automatically.

Alternatively, you can configure your portal to require manual activation by an administrator for each new user account, as described in [Activate user accounts](https://docs.apigee.com/api-platform/publish/portal/api-portal-users#activate_user_accounts). In this case, the status for the user account is listed as **Inactive** in the [user accounts list](https://docs.apigee.com/api-platform/publish/portal/api-portal-users#explore-ui) and the portal user cannot sign in.

To configure manual activation of user accounts:

1. [Access the Authentication page](https://docs.apigee.com/api-platform/publish/portal/configure-register-sign-in#explore-ui).
2. Click ![](https://docs.apigee.com/static/api-platform/images/edit-icon-black.png) in the **Account creation \& sign in** section.
3. Click **Require approval for all new user accounts** to require manual activation of user accounts.  
   To disable this feature, deselect the option.
4. Click **Save**.
