Role-specific user accounts with extensive configuration options

Description:
There is a personal user account for all students and staff, integrated on the website of your institution. To create the user account, a password can be selected after confirming the e-mail address.
Details:
In the course of creating the user account, personal data is also requested. These can vary depending on the type of user account. For example, employee user accounts can be extended to include bank details. Or international students can also enter visa details here.
Creating a user account is the first step in all application procedures. Since the personal data is then stored in the user account, it does not have to be entered again in the subsequent application process. This has several advantages:
- In the case of multiple applications, the process is shortened and duplicates are avoided
- When starting another degree programme within the same university, this data is still stored and never has to be re-entered
- By separating personal data from the application, contact details, for example, can be updated at any time, even after the application has been submitted
- All user accounts have a self-service function. For example, the address can be changed independently at any time.
Further settings like language preferences and time zones can also be configured in the personal user account.
