# Self-registration stage

This is currently the final stage in the default user registration process. The stage obtains all the user details from `state`. When the stage advances, it checks `state` for any `idpdata`, combines that with the user data, and creates the managed user object. This stage *must* occur in any registration process.

|   | If you are integrating IDM with AM, the [OpenAM auto-login stage](stage-am-auto-login.html) can follow this stage. |

* Example configuration

  ```json
  {
      "name" : "selfRegistration",
      "identityServiceUrl" : "managed/user"
  },
  ```

* Dependencies

  This stage *must* come after a stage that has populated the user in `state`. If the user is absent, the stage exits with an illegal argument exception.

* Required Parameters

  * `identityServiceUrl` - the managed object type that the stage creates.
