Create an Account for End Users
You must use an account to store information about your end users, including their
contact records. For Headless Identity, you reference the account in your Apex registration
handlers. When new users log in via an authentication provider or sign up directly through your
site, they’re added as contacts.
| Available in: both Salesforce Classic (not available in all orgs) and Lightning Experience |

Salesforce supports two types of accounts: business accounts, which store information about organizations, and person accounts, which store information about individuals. For this example, you use a business account to keep all your end-user records in one place.
