What does the property 'users.form.add.main' affect during user creation?

The property 'users.form.add.main' plays a crucial role in managing the visibility of fields during the user creation process. When this property is configured, it essentially controls which fields are displayed to the administrator or the user during the account creation phase within Liferay. This means that it allows for customization of the user creation form, making it possible to show or hide specific fields based on the requirements of the organization or the particular form being used.

This capability is particularly useful in scenarios where certain fields may not be necessary for all users or where specific information is needed only for particular roles. By determining which fields are visible, this property directly impacts the user experience and data collection process during user registration.

The other options address different functionalities that are not directly related to the management of field visibility. For instance, layout changes pertain to how components are arranged on the screen, validation relates to ensuring that input meets certain criteria, and user templates are about predefined settings for user accounts rather than the visibility of fields during creation. Hence, the focus of 'users.form.add.main' distinctly marks it as a visibility control mechanism in the user creation interface.
