# Enrolments

# What is an Enrolment?

When a user enrols in a service on the Gateway (assistants cannot create enrolments) the user is acting on behalf of the organisation, the enrolment does not belong to that user, but to the organisation itself. Likewise if the user deletes that enrolment it is the organisation itself and all its users and assistants that lose the enrolment, not just the user. See Enrolling in a Service and De-enrolling from a Service for more information.

Once the user has enrolled in a service, users and assistants have to be assigned the right to act upon that enrolment. Without that assignment they cannot submit business forms to the service. To stop a user or assistant from using that enrolment they can be de-assigned from it. See Assigning a Principal Enrolment, Assigning an Agent Enrolment and De-assigning an Enrolment for more information.
