New users can use the self-registration process to register with a minimum amount of information.
To self-register, use the register now function on the home page. Self-registered users are assigned to a default security group, MAXDEFLTREG. In the Users application or Security Groups application, an administrative user can replace the default security group with another security group. For example, you can configure the access rights and privileges of the default group for self-registered users to reflect the business rules for your company.
Additional settings are made after self-registration requests are routed to an administrator through workflow (if enabled). The requests are either approved or rejected. After being approved, the administrator assigns self-registered users to appropriate security groups. The administrator also notifies the users that they can use the system. The user must provide additional information using the Profile link in the navigation bar.
After submitting a self-registration request, a person record and user record is created for the user.
