3. Click on the User registration option in the blade menu.
4. The user registration options are loaded with two sections: Self registration policy and Self registration settings.
There are Save and Discard options in the top right corner of the Settings blade - User registration tab. These options are disabled. Once you modify something in the tab the Save and Discard options become enabled. Your changes will be lost or ignored in case you close this blade or navigate to another tab without clicking on the Save option.
When user self registration is enabled there is a Register link or option available on the ATS Security Login page (login dialog). This means that users that have no account in ATS Security can register with a valid e-mail address and be able to login to ATS Security.

In this case users accounts can only be created by the Administrator or via the enabled (if any) external identity providers.
