End User Experience for Self-Registration

---

The self-registration experience for end users varies, depending on the application. Some application-specific capabilities are:

Siebel Partner Portal. A user self-registers as an individual to become a partner user with limited access, or a user self-registers as a request for his or her company to be approved as a partner. In either case the user is assigned a limited responsibility that contains views to master data, but not to transactional data. This responsibility differs from that for a partner user in an approved partner company.
Siebel eAuction. A user self-registers to be an auction bidder or to be an auction lister.
Siebel eService. A user self-registers to gain access to more services.
Siebel eSales. A user self-registers to be allowed to make an online purchase.

For more information on registering partners and partner users for Siebel Partner Portal, see Siebel Partner Relationship Management Administration Guide.
