You can allow users to register themselves as Students during the practitioner registration process. This reduces administrative work by eliminating the need to manually change their role after registration.
Note: While students can select their role during registration, supervisors must still be assigned by the admin. Students cannot select or change their own supervisors.
To allow students to choose their role during signup, you must enable the Role field on the practitioner registration form.
Go to Admin → Settings → Websites → Admin → Registration Form
Locate the Role field in the registration form settings
Toggle the Status to On
Save your changes
Once enabled, all new practitioner registrations will be required to select whether they are registering as a Practitioner or a Student.
Supervisor assignment must be completed by the admin after registration
Students cannot assign or change supervisors themselves
Supervisors cannot self-register
Supervisor accounts must be created manually by the admin by changing the role in the practitioner profile
Enabling role selection during registration streamlines onboarding while preserving administrative control over supervision and approval workflows.
