# Considerations When Using System Mode

System Mode is a S-Docs feature for document generation, primarily designed for unauthenticated or logged in guest users to generate documents with S-Docs in Experience Cloud contexts.

***

### 👤 **Who It's For**

* ✅ Guest users (unauthenticated)
* ⚠️ *Limited* support for authenticated **Experience Cloud** users
* 🚫 *Not* a replacement for **Run-As-User** functionality

***

### **Compatibility**

**✅ Compatible with:**

* Document Generation
* Email sending
* Best suited for **Salesforce Sites** serving **guest users**

**🚫 Not Compatible / limitations:**

* E-signature functionality (e.g., E-sign SDK)
* Batch processes
* Integration user types
* Not recommended for portals, communities that have authenticated users

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://help.sdocs.com/sdocs/administration/security/considerations-when-using-system-mode.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
