Business Logic for Account Creation
When guest accounts are created, there are certain rules that must be followed in order to create a valid
account. These rules apply to all accounts, regardless of how the account was created.
The business logic rules that control all guest account creation are described below. To see the display name
corresponding to a field name, go to Configuration > Pages > Fields and scroll to the field name. Display
names are shown in the Column Title column.
For information on customizing fields, see "Customizing Fields" on page 206.

creating the account. If the field is not present or is not set to 1, the visitor account is not created.

the username already exists – any changes will be merged into the existing account using an update instead.
