Create a new user account

Welcome to Riffyn Nexus! This article teaches you how to sign up for a new Nexus account.

Account benefits

With your new Nexus account, you will be able to:

• View all public processes on your organization's instance of Riffyn Nexus.

• Access shared content from other users.

• Access the full Nexus knowledge base in Riffyn Help Center.

Sign up methods

There are three ways to signup for a new Riffyn Nexus account. Your organization's Nexus policy determines which signup method you can use.

1. Open Access (OA) — If you are a member of a non-profit institution, you may request an individual Open Access (OA account). To request an OA account, complete the Request an Open Access Account Form. After we validate your non-profit status, you will receive a welcome email with activation instructions.

2. Admin request — Most companies require their designated Riffyn Admin to create new user accounts. Contact your company's Riffyn Admin to request a new user account. If you do not know who the designated Riffyn Admin is at your company, email us at support@riffyn.com. 

3. Self-register — If your organization allows anyone with an email address from your organization to register for a Nexus account, then self-register for a new Nexus account.
