How to enable Partial Enrollment for Active Directory users in ADSelfService Plus

Active Directory domain users need to complete enrollment with ADSelfService Plus before they can use the below listed features:
  1. Self-service password reset

Only the users who have satisfied all the above three conditions are deemed enrolled, and can perform self-service password reset and account unlock. For the partially enrolled users (say, users have enrolled for 2 out of 4 authentication methods), ADSelfService Plus allows them to initiate the self-service password reset/account unlock action and complete the enrollment during the identity verification stage.

How to enable partially enrolled users to perform password self-service
