Configure Anonymous Registration Auto Approval Using a Domain Policy

 

Before you begin you will need to review Setting up Anonymous Registration.

 

You will first need to log into your Root Site as an Administrator and add a new Role by going to Site Settings/ Extranet Roles.

Extranet Collaboration Manager Settings Extranet Roles

In the top ribbon select Roles then select New Role.

 

Extranet Collaboration Manager Extranet Roles

Then name your new role, and click save.

 

Extranet Collaboration Manager New Extranet Role name

 

The new role should now be listed in the roles.

 

Extranet Collaboration Manager Manage Extranet Roles list

 

Next (still within the Root Site) you will need to go to Site Settings/ Extranet Settings

 

Extranet Collaboration Manager Extranet Settings

Click Security policies

 

Manage Extranet Settings Security policies

 

 

Click Security Policies in the top ribbon, then New Policy.

 

Manage Extranet Settings New Security Policies

 

You will then need to add the Role name to the Security Definition section. Once the People Picker has found the Role name, select Domain Name within the Field Type section. Type in the Domain Name Match Expression within the Security Policy Settings section then click save. Example: acme.com

 

Manage Extranet Settings New Security Policy options

 

Log into the site, that the domain name user needs to access, as an administrator. Select Site Settings then People and Groups.

(In our example the users needs to register for access to: extranet.awbikes.com/sites/acme)

 

SharePoint Site Settings People and groups

 

 

Select the appropriate Security Group. In most cases the Visitors group is selected. Next, select the NEW tab and select Add Users to this group.

 

SharePoint Site Settings People and groups add users

 

Within the “Add people to the group” type in the full name of the role created previously and select the name from the list.

 

SharePoint Invite People

 

Click Share.

 

SharePoint Invite people

 

You should now see the Role/Policy in the Group.

 

SharePoint People and Groups list

 

Once you have your Policy in place, anyone that browses out to the site and registers using the appropriate domain name, will be automatically added to the correct role/policy. Once in the proper security group, they will be granted access to browse out directly to the site and log in.

 

If the new user clicks Sign In at the time of registration or from the approval email they will be taken to the Root Site. You can add a Web Part to the Root site that will show a directory of links to all the sites they have access to. I have attached a link for the instructions for setting this up.
