# User accounts and access

#### Accounts and authentication

* Self-registration with email or phone, with OTP-based verification
* Single Sign-On with Google on both the web portal and mobile app
* Configurable Terms and Conditions during registration
* RBAC with roles such as Learner, Content Creator, Content Reviewer, Book Creator, Book Reviewer, Programme Manager, Organisation Administrator, and Report Administrator

#### Learning passbook and user report

Every logged-in learner has access to a personal **User Report** page showing:

* A summary of courses enrolled, in progress, completed, and certificates earned
* A course-by-course progress table with enrolled date and last accessed date
* A certificates section with certificate IDs and issue dates
* An assessment history section
* CSV export for all sections

#### Notifications

* In-app notifications on the web portal
* Push notifications on the mobile app
* Notification triggers for batch start reminders, course completion, certificate issuance, and programme announcements

#### Discussion forums

{% hint style="info" %}
**Add-on required:** Discussion forums are an optional Spark add-on. They are disabled by default. The forum is powered by NodeBB `4.x`.
{% endhint %}

When enabled, discussion forums let learners engage with peers and instructors around course content. Forums can be scoped to a specific course or opened to the full platform community.

#### Groups

{% hint style="info" %}
**Add-on required:** Groups functionality is an optional Spark add-on. It is disabled by default.
{% endhint %}

Groups let administrators create cohorts of learners and assign specific content or courses to them. This supports targeted programme delivery, such as assigning a training module to all newly onboarded employees in one department.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://sunbird.gitbook.io/sunbird-spark/learn/components/user-accounts-and-access.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
