Users belong to group (s). Roles are associated with groups. Predefined groups can be used or new ones can be created by adding or removing different roles. For a user to be able to register a compound, it needs to have the AUTOREGISTER or the ADVANCED_AUTOREGISTER role . Predefined groups associated with this role are the USER and the REGISTRAR groups.
Two options are available if you use LDAP / Active Directory (AD):

1. Create the user with the same username in the Compound Registration (CompReg) system as it is in LDAP/AD, and associate the proper group in the CompReg.
   

   1. 1. the user must exist in both LDAP/AD and CompReg

      2. within CompReg the user must be associated with a group associated to role AUTOREGISTER
         
         

2. Store a group in LDAP/AD with the same name as a group in CompReg that has the given role associated with.

   1. 1. the group must exist in both the LDAP/AD and CompReg

      2. the user within LDAP must be associated with the group

      3. in the CompReg the role AUTOREGISTER must be associated with the group

For both of these options, you need to be an administrator and have the USER_ADMINISTRATOR role to be able to set it up in ComReg.
