**Initiating actor:** Unregistered Guest

{{{#!div style="text-align: justify; width: 100%;"
The goal of this use case is to allow a new visitor to create a permanent account within the system by providing their personal details. Upon successful registration, the system creates a new record in the User table and assigns the user to the Consumer role, enabling them to access personalized features like wishlists and order history.
