 +{{:user_guide:user_registration.png?nolink|}}
 +
 +  * Select an entry in the Dynamic Login Pages applet and edit it.
 +  * Under the **Settings** is a **Registration** sub-tab.
 +  * User registration is by default disabled.
 +  * When you enable it there are the following options to choose from:
 +
 +^ Item      ^ Comment       ^ 
 +| ** Realm**    | The realm the new user must belong to     | 
 +| **Profile**    | The profile to apply to the new user    |
 +| **Auto-add suffix**    | Whether to add a suffix in addition to the username that the user specified |
 +| **Suffix**    | The word to append as a suffix to the username that the person registring provided  |
 +| **One user registration per device**  | Prevent a person from registering multiple times from one device by recording the MAC Address during the registration process  |
 +| **Auto-add device after authentication**  | Automatically add the MAC address of the device that the person registered with as a BYOD of the Permanent User after initial authentication  |
 +| **Send confirmation email**   | Email the user their credentials after they had successfully registered  <wrap em>(Requires email server to be configured correct) </wrap> | 
 +
 +  * Most of the options are straight forward. There are however one which might need a bit more explanation. This is the **Auto-add suffix** option.
 +  * RADIUSdesk has a limitation in that one can only register a username once. 
 +  * This means that if I come and register at a McDonalds restaurant with my email address johnsmith@gmail.com, I will not be able to register at a Coffee shop which are also hosted on the system using the same email address.
 +  * To overcome this we can configure the system to  automatically add a suffix and thus make the username unique.
 +  * This way we can have johnsmith@gmail.com@mcd_jhb and johnsmith@gmail.com@bean_jhb on the same system.
 +  * You'r next question will most likely be how will the user remember to add these suffix each time they log in?
 +  * They do not have to. We simply specify to the login page what suffix to add automatically when a permanent user logs in. If the username does not end with the specified suffix, it will automatically be added before submitting the login request.

 +<WRAP center round tip 90%>
 +  * This feature is also handy when you have a few hotels and you created permanent users like room1@hi_jhb, room2@hi_jhb, room3@hi_jhb etc.
 +  * The vistor can then also simply type in room1 and the suffix will automatically be added.
 +  * This way you can host a big number of hotels each having a room1 user.
