An e-mail will be sent with a link allowing the user to set his password.Note: For security reasons, the link in the e-mail expires after 24 hours.

The user account is created without a password and no registration e-mail is sent to the user.Note: This option is only shown if you have a SSO integration with assessmentQ. You can use this option if you need to create an SSO user upfront (to schedule an assignment for this user, for example).
- Allow the user to choose a password.

Result: The new user will be created.
Note:
- A strong password must contain at least 8 characters, including 1 capital, 1 small letter, and 1 special character.
