Typically people are given the ability to self-register and gain access to your system. You have 3 options in this regard.
'''None''' – You provide no links to a signup page. Users cannot self-register and must be created and activated in your system via a different methodology, such as auto loading, importing or manual creation by internal staff.
'''Use Routing page''' – When you have multiple signup pages for different types of users, organizations and languages, this option is used. It will display a list of signup pages so the user can be directed to the signup page that is right for them. Learn more about [[Signup_Page#Creating_a_routing_page|routing pages]]
Custom URL – If you only have one signup page in one language you can choose this option and enter the URL to that page here. Remember to use the relative path.
