Enhancement 

Email Verification for Self-Signup

Skilljar by Gainsight now supports Email Verification for Self-Signup, an organization-level security setting that requires learners to verify email ownership before accessing training when registering through self-signup.

This enhancement strengthens security for open registration domains while maintaining a seamless learner experience. When enabled, learners must complete registration through a secure, single-use email link before gaining access to training. The feature applies only to email/password authentication and does not affect Single Sign-On (SSO).

Key Benefits

  • Prevents Spam and Bot Registrations: Reduces unauthorized or automated account creation in public domains.
  • Improves Security for Open Registration: Ensures learners confirm email ownership before accessing training content.
  • Provides Organization-Wide Enforcement: Applies verification consistently across all domains within an organization.
  • Supports Regulated and Access-Code Environments: Adds stronger identity verification while preserving existing workflows.

For more information on Email Verification on Self-Signup, refer to the Advanced Course Registration Options article.
