#### Requested registration/login
Depending on the platform’s authorizations, users may browse through the platform without being logged in.
However, some on platform actions listed hereafter require the user to be logged in:
* Publishing a listing (figure 3.1). Refer to this documentation: [Listing deposit (Basic solution)](https://features.scnd.com/v2.0/front-office/rendering-types/commoditized-rendering-types/time-based/create-a-listing-time-based)
Figure 3.1
* Booking service on the listing page (figure 3.2)
