• When this option is disabled, the primaryEmail (username) and contactEmail (email) fields are both available on the create account screen.
• When this option is enabled, only the contactEmail (email) field is available on the create account screen, and the primaryEmail (username) field is hidden and will be set to the same value by default. This is the preferred setting for most client instances.
