# Register as a new staff member

> Create your RotaPad staff account and wait for an admin to approve it

If you're joining as a new staff member, you can register yourself. An admin checks your details before your account is switched on.

![Create your staff account form with About you, Address and Password sections](https://mintcdn.com/rotapad/xcZ37D-z5OitLRQE/images/screens/register-form.png?fit=max\&auto=format\&n=xcZ37D-z5OitLRQE\&q=85\&s=7b6facfdc6f4ad943ab9c5a91e600b80)

## Register

**1. Open the registration page**

Go to your organisation's RotaPad address followed by `/register`. Your manager can send you the link.

**2. Fill in your details**

Enter your name, email, phone number and address. **Address line 2** and **Country** are optional.

**3. Choose a password**

The checklist under the password ticks off each rule as you type. **Submit registration** stays greyed out until every rule is met.

**4. Submit**

Click **Submit registration**. You'll see a confirmation and get an email saying your registration was received.

> [!WARNING]
>
> You can't sign in until an admin approves your registration. You'll get an email as soon as they do.

## Password rules

The rules shown in the checklist come from your organisation's sign-in settings, for example a minimum length or a number. Passwords that have appeared in known data breaches are also refused. If that happens, you'll see a message under the password box. Choose a different one.

## After you register

| You receive | When |
| - | - |
| **Registration received** | Straight after you submit |
| **Account approved** | When an admin approves you. Sign in with the email and password you registered with. |
| **Registration not approved** | If an admin rejects your registration. It may include a reason. |

## If something goes wrong

> [accordion] An account with this email already exists
>
> You already have an account. Sign in instead, or ask your manager to reset your password.

> [accordion] A registration with this email is already waiting for approval
>
> You've already registered. Wait for the approval email.

> [accordion] Too many registrations from this network
