Can you allow users signing up to "self-elect" as a manager?

I believe it does exist in Docebo’s version...check the settings under Advanced Settings > Teams and managers…maybe wither of these options could work for you? I know in our sandbox, when I log in as a user with no manager assigned, I am asked to choose one. Try it out.

Hi @lrnlab ! Thank you again for this great advice. Sadly, this doesn’t allow us to let a person signing into our system for the first time “self-elect” as a manager themselves, it only prompts a user to select who they’d like to be their manager (sadly they can’t select just anyone, they have to already be labeled a manager in the system) and populate a list with potential managers (again, have to be labeled a manager already to do this :( ) 

Think it’s not possible right now - I can understand it, because it would allow just anyone to say “I’m a manager” and see other’s information. Appreciate it regardless!

I think it only pulls from users that are actual manager (toggle “this user manages a team” is ON) but it’s been a while since I tested. I understand this does not solve your issue though. Have you thought about the moderated self-registration? Would that help you at all? More work for your admins but it may be a step in the right direction if that works the way you like.

@lrnlab Yeah, I think you are totally right on where it pulls from, and like you mentioned we’re hoping to allow users to toggle that “this user manages a team” themselves.

The moderated self-registration looks interesting! Yes, I can see how this would assist us, so I could manually go in if I see a manager and set that toggle to on. I don’t know if that’s going to be feasible with our system needs as-of now (the time frame between allowing someone to register and access unfortunately could cause a bigger problem then the manager setting for our case sadly) but I really appreciate you bringing it up as an option!
