Learner accounts are created using the learner's college email. However, if the learner's college email is not specified then learner accounts are created with a username that is their person code at the institution's domain. For example, 1007902743@hesslewoodcollege.ac.uk. Staff accounts are created using the college email, such as rohan.west@hesslewoodcollege.ac.uk, if the college email is not specified the account will not be created.
Both learner and staff accounts in CENTURY are created using the temporary password defined in the Institution Settings for CENTURY.
