Creating and logging in to your registry account makes it possible to publish records and to gain access to protected records, and records that you own. Records in Registry are owned by users, and access control is granted based on your user account (and group membership information).

A registry account is divided into two parts. One part contains your contact and login information, while the other part controls your chosen profile, and subscription preferences.

Registry administrators may limit the number of records of a specific type that can be published by a single user. This may apply to the registry with which you are working. If you are unable to publish an entity due to these limits, your Registry administrator will be able to help you with this.

Remember that you can always search the registry and list its contents without logging in (as a Guest). Typically, guests have limited privileges and can only view a subset of Registry entries.
