# How to configure Self Enrollment?

Device enrollment in the UEM is a process that smoothens the communication between the device and the organization. Enterprises can easily control and limit access to the organizational network, apps, and files on an enrolled device.

Self Enrollment in Hexnode UEM helps secure user enrollment by enforcing authentication. This allows users to enroll their own devices by authenticating with the already known credentials. This exempts the admins from the hassle of enrolling the device by themselves. With Hexnode, you can setup self-enrollment using [Active Directory](https://www.hexnode.com/mobile-device-management/help/microsoft-active-directory-integration-with-hexnode-mdm/) (AD), [ Microsoft Entra ID](https://www.hexnode.com/mobile-device-management/help/azure-active-directory-integration-with-hexnode-mdm/), [Google](https://www.hexnode.com/mobile-device-management/help/how-to-integrate-g-suite-with-hexnode/), [Okta](https://www.hexnode.com/mobile-device-management/help/okta-integration-with-hexnode-mdm/), and [local](https://www.hexnode.com/mobile-device-management/help/how-to-configure-self-enrollment-for-non-directory-users-using-hexnode-mdm/) user authentication.

Configure Self Enrollment for local users
-----------------------------------------

Enable self-enrollment for local users to allow them to enroll their own devices by authenticating their pre-assigned local credentials.

1. Login to your Hexnode portal.
2. Go to **Enroll > All Enrollments > Enterprise > Self-Enrollment – Local**.
3. Select the option Local User under **Self Enrollment**.
4. Change the devices’ **Ownership** type to either **Corporate, Personal,** or **Let the user choose**.
5. Click on **Continue**.
6. To assign/change the password of the local user from the UEM console, select the required user/users and click on **Change password**. Type in the required password and click **OK**.

If you want to create a new user, click on the option **Create a new user** and provide the Display name, Domain, Email, Alternate email, Mobile and Password of the user. The display name and email fields are mandatory.

Share this password with the corresponding user. While enrolling devices, the user must provide their email (username) and authenticate with this pre-assigned password.

Apart from assigning passwords to individual users from the UEM console, you can also assign passwords to users in Hexnode by [importing a CSV file](https://www.hexnode.com/mobile-device-management/help/pre-enrollment-of-devices-hexnode-mdm/).

Configure Self Enrollment for directory users
---------------------------------------------

Enable self-enrollment for directory users to allow them to enroll their own devices by authenticating with their AD, Microsoft Entra ID, Google or Okta credentials.

1. Login to your Hexnode portal.
2. Go to **Enroll > All Enrollments > Enterprise > Self-Enrollment – Local**.
3. Select the required domains (AD/ Microsoft Entra ID/ Google/ Okta) under **Self Enrollment**.
4. Change the devices’ **Ownership** type to either **Corporate, Personal,** or **Let the user choose**.
