# Manage Members

> For the full documentation index, see: https://docs.mulesoft.com/llms.txt

Consumer developers self-register for access to your Anypoint API Community Manager community. You
can then approve member registrations to give them access to the restricted sections of your
community.

> [!NOTE] Registered members require a license. No license is required for guest users. For full
> information about licenses, refer to the [Licensing Overview](https://docs.mulesoft.com/api-community-manager/licensing-overview).

## Member Registration and Activation

When consumer developers browse your community as unregistered users (guests), they can view only
limited information.

Consumer developers follow these steps to self-register:

1.  Navigate to the community to which they want access.

2.  Select **Log in**.

3.  Select **Not a member?**

4.  Enter their community username and password.

5.  Select **REGISTER** to submit the registration request.

## Approve and Activate Members

1.  After the consumer developer sends a registration request, you receive a notification email.

2.  To review and approve the request, open the API Community Manager control panel and click
    **Member Management**.

    If you don’t see **API Community Manager** in **App Launcher**, follow
    [Enable API Community Manager Control Panel](https://docs.mulesoft.com/api-community-manager/manual-setup#enable-api-community-manager-control-panel).

3.  Open the **Members** tab to view a searchable list of current members, with the option to
    disable and enable their accounts.

4.  To deactivate a member, disable the **Active** setting for that member and confirm the change.

5.  Open the **Pending members registration** tab to view a searchable list of requests for access.

6.  To reject a registration request, select **Reject** and confirm the change.

    A user whose request is rejected cannot request registration again for 30 days. To undo a
    rejection by retrieving the rejected request, enable **Show rejected users** and click
    **Retrieve**.

7.  To approve a request, select **Approve** and confirm the change.

8.  After you approve a registration request, a welcome email is sent to the consumer developer.

9.  To complete registration, the member must click an email verification link in the email and
    specify a new password.

    The consumer developer can then log in to your community. When the member’s status is
    **Active**, additional options become available to the developer, such as **Forums** and **My
    Applications**.

## Searching Members

In the API Community Manager control panel, the **Member Management** tab shows a search bar. Enter
one or more terms into the search field.

You can filter search results with the following filter attributes:

- `fullName`

- `userName`

To use a filter attribute, type the attribute name followed by a colon and the value for that
attribute. For example, filtering with `userName:Smith` only shows members with names that include
"Smith", such as `jsmith@company.com` and `sue.jones@ironsmith.com`.

Search terms without a filter attribute only apply to member fields that are not filtered. For
example, the search `userName:com Jones` shows members that include "com" in the "Username" field
and "Jones" in any field other than "Username".
