# What is an Enrolment?

Before either a principal or agent user (credential) can access a service, they must enrol in that service. Through an enrolment the Gateway firstly verifies a credential's right to use a service (via known facts) and secondly provides a way to identify the credential (via identifiers) to that service.

This section examines the overall Enrolment Process, the relationship with Known Facts and Identifiers and what Multiple enrolments in a service are.
