However, in order to `push` images, leave comments or to *star* 12 a repository, you are going to need a [Docker 13 Hub](https://hub.docker.com) account. 14 15 ### Registration for a Docker Hub Account 16 17 You can get a [Docker Hub](https://hub.docker.com) account by 18 [signing up for one here](https://hub.docker.com/account/signup/). A valid 19 email address is required to register, which you will need to verify for 20 account activation. 21 22 ### Email activation process 23 24 You need to have at least one verified email address to be able to use your 25 [Docker Hub](https://hub.docker.com) account. If you can't find the validation email, 26 you can request another by visiting the [Resend Email Confirmation]( 27 https://hub.docker.com/account/resend-email-confirmation/) page. 28 29 ### Password reset process 30 31 If you can't access your account for some reason, you can reset your password 32 from the [*Password Reset*](https://hub.docker.com/account/forgot-password/) 33 page. 34 35 ## Organizations & Groups 36 37 Also available on the Docker Hub are organizations and groups that allow 38 you to collaborate across your organization or team. You can see what 39 organizations [you belong to and add new organizations]( 40 https://hub.docker.com/account/organizations/) from the Account Settings 41 tab. They are also listed below your user name on your repositories page and in your account profile. 42 43 ![organizations](/docker-hub/orgs.png) 44 45 From within your organizations you can create groups that allow you to 46 further manage who can interact with your repositories. 47 48 ![groups](/docker-hub/groups.png) 49 50 You can add or invite users to join groups by clicking on the organization and then clicking the edit button for the group to which you want to add members. Enter a user-name (for current Hub users) or email address (if they are not yet Hub users) for the person you want to invite. They will receive an email invitation to join the group. 51 52 ![invite members](/docker-hub/invite.png) 53 54
