If your organization is already a company, you need to sign up as an individual under that company in order to receive any of the member benefits on the site.

Depending on the type of authentication that the site administrator has chosen, you "attach" yourself to your Member Company differently.

Note - if you created the corporate membership profile you can skip the authentication process and jump straight to the individual membership profile (follow the calls to action from the site OR click "Add a Membership" from the Tendenci Console).

E-mail Authentication

• Follow the calls to action from the site to Join under your organization (this link will also be in an email if someone has invited you to join)
• Fill in the self registration form making sure that you enter in your company email address
• If we match you up to your member company (based on your email address) we will send you a confirmation email asking you to authenticate
• Check your email inbox - look for an email with a subject of "Verify Registration on [Site Name]"
• Click the verification link inside the email
• The system will process your authentication and if you pass you will be automatically redirected to the individual membership form
  
• Fill out the individual membership form and submit
• Upon receipt of payment (if payment is rewuired to join) your membership will be activated.
  
• If there is no charge for your membership under the company then your membership will immediately be activated.

Administrator Authentication

• Follow the calls to action from the site to Join under your organization (this link will also be in an email if someone has invited you to join)
• This link takes you straight to the membership application form
• Choose your member company from the drop down list
• Fill out the rest of the form as needed and submit
  
• Make any necessary payments
• Your membership will remain in pending status until the administrator can verify that you are a part of that company and approves your application (they will get an email indicatiing that you have applied)
