Ideally, when a user creates an account on your website, you will validate their email address by having them respond to an activation email that is sent _from your website_ when the user registers. If, for some reason, you allow users to create accounts on your website before they have validated their email address, you can set the `require_validation` parameter conditionally in the SSO payload. If the user has validated their email address, set `require_validation` to `false`, or just leave out the parameter from the payload. If the user has not validated their email address on your website, set the `require_activation` parameter to `true` so that they’ll be sent an activation email from Discourse.
