Register new user

Note: The new user created using this action will not have access to Nintex Data tables. If you are using Nintex Apps with Nintex Workflow, see Nintex Workflow and Nintex Apps connected user management for information on setting up users in the connected experience.

This action automatically registers and adds a new user to the Nintex Apps user list. It does not create a new user in Nintex Workflow. If you register a new user using this Platform action and you are also using Nintex Workflow, then you will also need to create the user in Nintex Workflow; for more information, see Nintex Workflow.

  • Profile name: The profile name to be assigned to the new user upon registering.

  • First name

  • Last name

  • Email address

  • Username

  • Federation ID: In federated SSO, an identity provider (such as Salesforce or Google) serves as a singular entry point to a group of applications. To accomplish this, the identity and service providers often communicate with each other using a federation ID, a trusted piece of data—known to both systems—that can identify individual users.

    Within Nintex Apps, federation IDs are set when a user is provisioned and can be updated by Nintex Apps admins at any time.

    Note:  For more about SSO and federation IDs, see SSO .

  • Locale: A valid locale code consisting of language and regional location, such as en-US, es-ES.

  • Time zone: A valid tz database time zone code (for example, America/Los_Angeles, or Europe/London).

Log in

This action logs a user into the current Nintex Apps site. If a Nintex Apps user has forgotten their password, they can click on the forgot password link on the login page.

Note:  Username and password values are often merge variables that reference user input in the corresponding form fields.

  • Username
  • Password
  • Go to default/last visited URL if login succeeds: If toggled on and the login succeeds, the user will be sent to the last URL they visited. If the user has never logged in before, they will be taken to the app's home page.

Log out

This action logs a user out of the current Nintex Apps site.
