What configuration should a Technical Consultant perform to ensure users cannot self-register on the Experience Cloud site for a Public Sector Organization?

To prevent users from self-registering on the Experience Cloud site for a Public Sector Organization, enabling manual registration is the correct approach. By enabling manual registration, the organization retains control over who can create accounts, ensuring that only authorized personnel are granted access to the site. This is vital in a public sector context, where sensitive information may be involved and where strict access controls are often necessary.

The other options would allow or facilitate self-registration in some way. For instance, enabling self-registration in the Digital Experiences setup menu directly contradicts the need to prevent users from registering themselves, as it would allow users to create their accounts freely. Adding 'Register User' or 'Enable Customer User' actions to contact page layouts could also provide users with the ability to register themselves, which again does not align with the requirement to disallow self-registration. Therefore, enabling manual registration provides the necessary control to restrict user access according to organizational policies.
