Registering an Attendee
There are two ways a potential attendee can be registered to attend an event:
Self-registration. The potential attendee can use a standard Web browser to visit the Siebel Events Web site and register for an event listed there. For more information on registering for an event, see End-User Procedures for Self-Registering for an Event.
Registration by an administrator. A member of your own company can use administrative screens to register the potential attendee for an event. For more information on registering an attendee for an event or session, see Registering an Attendee for an Event.
Although self-registration through the Events Web site home page is recommended over registration by an administrator, there may be times when it is convenient for an employee of the presenting organization to register an attendee for an event or a session, rather than requiring the attendee to self-register. This option is particularly useful for registration at events that allow registration at the door, because employees with access to administration screens can register walk-in attendees upon their arrival.
Self-registration is preferred because it uses LDAP security systems and authenticates a user’s username and password. Registration from administrative screens may require site-specific steps to create matching user accounts for both your Siebel application and the security system.
