You can allow users to register as students during the practitioner registration process. This reduces administrative work by eliminating the need to manually change their role after registration.
During registration, users can select whether they are a Student or a Practitioner
Students cannot choose or change their supervisor during registration
Supervisors must be assigned by the admin after the account is created
Supervisors cannot self-register and must be set manually by the admin
Go to Admin → Settings → Websites → Admin → Registration Form
Locate the Role field
Set the field Status to On
Save your changes
Once enabled, the Role field will appear on the practitioner registration form.
Students who self-register must still be linked to one or more supervisors by the admin
Supervisors must always be created by changing a practitioner’s role in their profile
This setting only affects new registrations and does not change existing accounts
Enabling roles at registration helps streamline onboarding while maintaining proper supervision and approval workflows.
