and the operator profile in use must also have the View Passwords privilege.
l Initial Sequence—This field contains the next available sequence number for each username prefix that has been
used. Automatic sequence numbering is used when the value of the multi_initial_sequence field is set to -1. The
username prefix is taken from the multi_prefix field when usernames are automatically generated using the “nwa_

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 > Fields and scroll to the field name. Display names are shown in
the Column Title column.
Verification Properties
l creator_accept_terms: This field must be set to 1, indicating the creator has accepted the terms of use for creating
the account. If the field is not present or is not set to 1, the visitor account is not created.
l password2: If this field is specified, its value must be equal to the “password” field, or else the visitor account is
not created.
l auto_update_account: If this field is present and set to a non-zero value, account creation will not fail if the
username already exists – any changes will be merged into the existing account using an update instead.
Basic User Properties
l username: This field is the name for the visitor account and may be provided directly. If this field is not specified,
then use the email address from the email field, and if that is also not specified, then randomly generate a username
(according to the value of the random_username_method and random_username_length fields).
