→Modifying the New User Email Template
If you are giving new users the ability to login in via the '''Access Type''' setting, which gets set to '''User Access''', then the user will receive an email based off a '''New User Email Template,''' either the one on the signup page or the global template.
By default, all new users will receive the email template found in '''Menu''' Icon > '''Global Settings''' > '''Security''' Tab > '''Password and Activation Policies''' > '''Activation Emails''' in the left navigation. Once you add the sample template you can modify it as needed. The sample template will send the new registrant a link where they can enter their desired password to complete user activation. The variable for this is '''<pre>https://@url@@activationlink@'''. It is also possible to email users their username and password by using the variables '''@email@''' and '''@password@''' and using the other basic syntax references of the [[Variable Processor|variable processor]]</pre>.
If you want a custom new user email sent to all users who register through this specific signup page instead of using the global one, then, on that particular signup page, go to the '''Templates''' tab and add the sample template and fill in the other fields. The '''New User Email Template''' on the signup page takes precedence over the '''New User''' general template found under '''Global Settings'''. Typically, we recommend that you leave the '''Template''' tab '''New User Email Template''' empty so the global template will be used.
