Registration for new users
This guide explains how to activate the registration for new users and login permission.
This function and guide is valid from version 5.1.
Overview
Functionality for user self registration will allow new users to sign up as new users. If organisation function is activated, new users will get the choice to sign up as a private customer or as a company.
Once user has signed up, user will get choices to set up addresses, select market (if available and not yet selected) and browse parts.
In case case user has to be approved before accessing information, user will get a message that approval is awaiting. Once approval is complete, user will receive an email.
Request login
It is possible to configure that new users will have top request a login permission. User will register, but prior to having access the admin will have to approve the users which have requested login.
When a new user requests access, the admin will get an email notification that new users have requested access. Admin will then approve users. Once user is approved, user will get an email notification.
The function is based on permissions to log in. New users will not get the login permission, but when admin approves users to log in, approved users will get this permission.

Configuration is needed in profile.config and, if login permissions are used, in permissions.config
