Self-service sign-up is an essential feature for your External ID workforce and customer scenarios. It gives your partners, consumers, and other external users a frictionless way to sign up and get access to your apps without any intervention on your part.

In either scenario, you can create a personalized sign-up experience by customizing the look and feel, providing sign-in with social identity providers, and collecting information about the user during the sign-up process.

Note

You can associate user flows with apps built by your organization. User flows can't be used for Microsoft apps, like SharePoint or Teams.

User flow for self-service sign-up

A self-service sign-up user flow creates a sign-up experience for the application you're providing to external users. You can configure user flow settings to control how the user signs up for the application:

  • Account types used for sign-in, such as social accounts like Facebook, or Microsoft Entra accounts
  • Attributes to be collected from the user signing up, such as first name, postal code, or country/region of residency

The user can sign in to your application, via the web, mobile, desktop, or single-page application (SPA). The application initiates an authorization request to the user flow-provided endpoint. The user flow defines and controls the user's experience. When the user completes the sign-up user flow, Microsoft Entra ID generates a token and redirects the user back to your application. Upon completion of sign-up, an account is provisioned for the user in the directory. Multiple applications can use the same user flow.

Example of self-service sign-up

The following B2B collaboration example illustrates self-service sign-up capabilities for guest users. A partner of Woodgrove opens the Woodgrove app. They decide they want to sign up for a supplier account, so they select Request your supplier account, which initiates the self-service sign-up flow.

Example of self-service sign-up starting page

They use the email of their choice to sign up.

Example showing selection of Facebook for sign-in

Microsoft Entra ID creates a relationship with Woodgrove using the partner's Facebook account, and creates a new guest account for the user after they sign up.

Woodgrove wants to know more about the user, like name, business name, business registration code, phone number.
