Account

This guide describes how to sign up your personal accsyn account and have your user entity created in the platform. 

What is the personal accsyn account?

An accsyn account is an unique email address identifying a physical person within the platform.

When you are invited to a workspace, either with a delivery or through file sharing/media screening, the user entity is pre-created with pending signup status - which means that the personal account is not created yet and you cannot login.

You can also sign up a personal account without an invitation, with the purpose to engage a workspace trial.

By design, all access to the accsyn platform is restricted and you need to be logged in before your can perform any actions. 

Note: There is one exception to that - anonymous deliveries,  this is the only context were a user can access files without needing to login.
