Review and Configure the Included Default User Type Profile

When QCFUM has no User Type Profiles, version 2.0.4 seeds a published Default Registered User Profile. It is intended as a safe starting point, not a reason to skip reviewing your site’s actual Joomla group design.

What QCFUM Seeds

The default Profile is created with:

  • title: Default Registered User;
  • description indicating standard Registered access;
  • the Joomla Registered group (ID 2) when it is available and safe;
  • published status enabled;
  • initial approval/welcome values derived from the corresponding QCFUM settings at the time the record is seeded.

QCFUM creates this starter only when the Profile table has no records. Your customized Profile is not meant to be recreated on every request.

Review It Before Staff Use It

  1. Open Components > QC Frontend User Manager > Profiles.
  2. Edit Default Registered User.
  3. Rename it if a clearer staff-facing label would reduce mistakes.
  4. Rewrite the description so staff know who should receive this Profile.
  5. Confirm the selected Joomla destination group is genuinely safe for frontend onboarding.
  6. Review approval and welcome-email choices.
  7. Leave it published only when it is ready for use.
  8. Save and test one direct-create workflow with a safe test account.

Basic Can Edit the Included Profile

Profile editing is available on Basic. Basic is limited to one active Profile and cannot add additional Profiles; adding or deleting Profiles requires Pro or higher.

Do Not Turn the Default into an Administrative Role

QCFUM validates Profile destination groups and refuses groups with protected administrative capabilities. The starter Profile should remain an ordinary frontend-access role, not a shortcut to Joomla Administrator access.

Verify the Result

  • The Profile title and description are clear to staff.
  • The selected Joomla group is the exact group intended for newly created users.
  • A test user receives only the expected direct membership.
  • The workflow’s approval/welcome behavior matches the saved Profile configuration.
