Profile

This article describes the data fields and preferences available during the registration process and in the Your profile section.

Registration

To initiate the creation of a new account, an Admin of the Allure TestOps instance must send an invitation to your email address.

Once you have received the invite, you need to accept it and complete the registration:

1. In the invitation email, click Accept invite.

   The registration form should open in the web browser.

   If you get the “Invitation not found” message instead, this most likely means that the invitation link has expired. Contact the instance's administrator and ask them to resend the invitation.

2. Fill in the registration form:

   • Username — a short identifier of your account. Must be unique across all accounts in the Allure TestOps instance. After the registration, you will not be able to change your username;
   • First name and Last name — your full name;
   • Password — a password that you will use to sign in to Allure TestOps.

3. Click Continue.

   You will be signed in and redirected to the Projects section.
