Hello @mtempleton and thank you for reaching out via our customer community.  I looked in UMA and see as an IM subscriber you already have access to PI for both Kroger and Albertsons as part of your agreement with us.  All you need to do is publish to Kroger then access those items in VIP, top them off, validate until successful, and submit. 

You can learn more about this process HERE.

Hello. I'm sorry to hear that, are you getting any sort of error message when attempting to register?

[Sidaribrands]

I am also unable to register.  When I click the link I can either sign in or sign up as a new customer.  When I attempt to sign in it says my email and password are incorrect. @JustinW

Hello @Sidaribrands and thanks for joining the customer community.  Welcome.  Please take note of the message at the top:  

"Easily load your products for Kroger.  Register by Clicking HERE:  Please note that you will be taken to the 1WorldSync store which uses different login credentials than the community."

When you register for these types of sessions, you are doing so in the 1WS store.  That is the one tool that does not use single sign-on and requires login credentials unique to what you use for IM, Community, PI/VIP, etc.  

If you are the user in your company who signed up for 1WS services to become a customer, you would have had to create access to the 1WS store.  If you are not that user, can you ask that person for the store credentials so you can register?
