verification email

How do i send a verification email to a new user when they sign up without creating a session. I'm trying to use ssr. And I keep getting different answers wherever I look.
I've tried account.createVerification(). I've tried users.createVerification(). I've tried adminAccount.createVerification(newUser.$id, verificationUrl). This is crazy. Why isn't there any solid information on this?
I'm constantly getting errors:
Account created, but failed to send verification email: app.6771757c001f6ca5aa45@service.appwrite.example.com (role: applications) missing scope (account).
The appwrite ai will tell me one thing and then something completely different. Now it told me appwrite will send it automatically by ensuring that the user's emailVerification status is set to false upon creation. And that I can set it up and configure the verification url in Auth in the Appwrite Console. Is that even true?
Why is this so complex in Appwrite?

You would have to create a session to call verification
