Registering Customers

Customer service representatives can register customers in the Web Access form. For more information about customer administration, see Siebel eSales Administration Guide.

When customers perform self registration, they can select a user name, a password, and a challenge question. The challenge question confirms the customer's identity when the customer forgets a password.

This task is a step in Process of Administering Web Access.
