Self-registration pages, profiles and accounts
How to set up self-registered site users correctly: the Login & Registration profile and account, the four registration page types, the Configurable Self-Reg Page settings (user fields, Execute Registration As, verification, Include Password), CommunitiesSelfRegController overrides, and the right account model for person-account customers, partners and contactless users.
Given a scenario, determine how to properly set up a user for an Experience.

What the exam expects
- Configure self-registration on the Login & Registration page: the toggle, the default profile and the default account.
- Choose a registration page type (Default, Experience Builder, Visualforce, Configurable Self-Reg Page) and know which login page types allow the Configurable Self-Reg Page.
- Set the Configurable Self-Reg Page so new users are created correctly and can log in.
- Recognise when CommunitiesSelfRegController code overrides the Login & Registration settings.
- Pick the right account model for consumers, partner reps and sole traders, and a restrictive default profile.
Key terms: Login & Registration (the Administration page in Experience Workspaces that holds login and sign-up settings); Configurable Self-Reg Page (a sign-up form with email or phone only, driven by a generated Apex handler); Execute Registration As (the user whose context the handler runs in); CommunitiesSelfRegController (the Apex controller behind self-registration on every page type); person account (an individual stored as one account-contact record).
