Creating a Registration Policy Settings document
Use a Registration Policy Settings document to populate desired default settings when registering new users. If you use an organizational policy, when you register users with the corresponding certifier ID, that policy is automatically applied. If you use an explicit policy, you select the policy during registration.

PolicyCreator role to create a settings document
PolicyModifier role to modify a settings document
