Create New Account in Mantis Bug Tracker

In this tutorial, we will go through the steps involved in creating a new account in the Mantis Bug Tracker tool. New users can sign up for an account from the Mantis signup page. However, if the signup option is disabled, the Administrator has to create or invite new users to the system.

Let’s see the options to create a new account if the signup option is disabled.

<mantis_home>/config/config_inc.php setting:

$g_allow_signup = OFF;

Access Levels
